Video Summary

The video presents the results of a study on the use of a partial meniscus scaffold implant called collagen meniscus implant (CMI). The study included 156 patients with a follow-up time of 11 years. The surgical failure rate, which included reasons for scaffold removal like infection and dislocation, was 12%, with the lateral CMI performing worse than the medial CMI. The presence of advanced cartilage damage decreased the survival rate of the scaffold. In terms of clinical failure, which involved poor outcomes and additional surgeries, the overall failure rate was 47%. The study suggests that the cartilage status and time from meniscectomy were significant factors impacting outcomes. The CMI showed satisfactory long-term results, with almost 90% still in place after 10 years. Credits were given to colleagues and mentors for their guidance and support.
