One hundred and fifteen primarily operated patients with medial collateral ligament tears of the knee have been reviewed. Two-thirds of the patients had associated cruciate ligament injuries. In 59 knees, injuries of the medial meniscus were found. Suture of the medial meniscus was performed in 53 patients, while medial meniscectomy was done in only six cases. Knee function was evaluated by follow-up after 4 (2–8) years. Excellent or good results as evaluated by the Lysholm knee score were obtained in 86 per cent of the patients, with equally good results in those with meniscus suture as compared to those without meniscus injury. No secondary men-iscectomies were performed.Downloads
