Clinical and radiological outcomes following isolated vertical medial meniscal tear repair in patients over 40 years old.

Successful clinical and radiological outcomes can be obtained following isolated vertical medial meniscal tear repair in patients older than 40 years. Age is not the sole criterion for the success of meniscal repair; rather, the functional capacity of the patient, the location of the tear, the grade of knee joint arthritis, and the quality of the meniscal tissue should be taken into consideration.
