Failure rate, return-to-sports and magnetic resonance imaging after meniscal repair: 119 patients with 7 years mean follow up

Figure 1 Two-years postoperative magnetic resonance imaging classified as “not healed”. This asymptomatic patient was treated with a bucket handle tears suture associated with Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. A: Axial plane showing a more than 2 mm gap; B: Same gap in the coronal plane; C: The posterior horn in the sagittal plane shows a gap less than 1mm wide in the meniscus; D: The transversal line in the posterior horn of the meniscus pointed by the arrows is the suture crossing from anterior to posterior.
