A study presented at the Arthroscopy Association of North America Annual Meeting evaluated the impact of marrow venting and platelet-rich plasma on meniscal repair surgery outcomes. The study found that these adjuvants did not significantly affect patient-reported outcomes or survivorship at a minimum of 2-year follow-up. The failure rates for meniscal repair were not significantly impacted by the use of marrow venting and PRP. While the combination of these adjuvants slightly reduced failure rates, the results were not statistically significant. Overall, the study suggests that these additional procedures may not improve the outcomes of meniscal repair surgery.
