Arthroscopy Apr 23, 2019
Poland S, et al. - Patients aged 40 years or older were compared to patients younger than 40 years regarding meniscal repair failure rates.

Outcomes revealed no increased risk of meniscal repair failure among patients aged 40 years or older at 5 years, although there appeared a shorter time to failure in this age cohort.
