Intra-substance meniscal changes and their clinical significance: a meta-analysis

Abstract The degeneration of radial tie fibres of the central meniscal layer, and thinning of its lamellar layer results in increased intensity signals on magnetic resonance imaging, making it difficult to differentiate from true meniscal tear. This study aimed to assess the rate of encountered MRI...

description	Abstract The degeneration of radial tie fibres of the central meniscal layer, and thinning of its lamellar layer results in increased intensity signals on magnetic resonance imaging, making it difficult to differentiate from true meniscal tear. This study aimed to assess the rate of encountered MRI grades 1 and 2 intrasubstance meniscal changes, and to set guidelines to report these changes based on predicted clinical outcome. A systematic review approach was employed using search engines, libraries, and databases (Google Scholar, ERIC, PubMed, and Medline) to search for scholarly sources on meniscal lesions and their significance in MRI published between 1 January 2000 and 30 June 2019. It retrieved 2750 abstracts, out of which 2738 were excluded and 13 studies meeting inclusion criteria were meta-analysed. It found an association between intrasubstances meniscal changes and outcomes. It resulted that intrasubstance meniscal changes were preservable through the protective functioning of the meniscus. Other than weight gain, no other significant risk factor of developing true meniscal tears later in life was found. It is important to examine intrasubstance meniscal change when patients suffer from mechanical meniscal symptoms especially in old age.
