Sponsor's own description

Performing arthroscopic meniscus repair following a traumatic meniscus tear as an alternative to a meniscectomy is now an acceptable choice. Preserving meniscus tissues is crucial due to the significant role they play as an essential part of the knee joint. It is essential to comprehend the additional tools that can impact the recovery of the meniscus after suturing. Patients have been randomly assigned into two groups using the computer "www.randomiser.org," and the treatment outcomes were compared after one year. One group of patients has received a standard meniscus suturing technique, whereas another group has experienced the meniscus suturing treatment with an additional fibrin clot approach. Data pertaining to demographics, clinical characteristics, radiological findings, and survey responses have been carefully collected prospectively.
