Abstract

The author has studied retrospectively the meniscectomy with temporary silastic implant. The study material used was 4 joints that were possible to be followed up in 9 joints of out of all 145 joints who were diagnosed as internal derangement and have been operated in Yongdong Severance hospital from March 1988 to February 1990. We concluded that the use of temporary silastic implant would prevent the complication which would be arised after meniscectomy alone. And we could obtain the results of the relief of clinical symptoms and maintenance or improvement of joint space when preoperative and postoperative clinical and radiographic findings were compared. The larger number of patients and long term follow-up will be needed for further the investigation.
