Sažetak

Meniscal injuries are one of the most common pathologies in the orthopedic clinic. It is an injury which occurs in abnormal knee movement or as a form of a degenerative process over years. The types of meniscal injury are various in means of severity, patient history, clinical presentation and patient age. Discoveries in the meniscal biomechanics proposed great changes for the general health of the knee joint and advancement in the treatment. Meniscal pathology is better understood and the progress in diagnostics and treatment allows preservation of the knee from developing symptoms and secondary osteoarthritic changes. It was not long ago that any suspicion of a meniscal lesion led to open meniscectomy, which in most cases was total. Magnetic resonance imaging in the second part of the 20th century made revolutionary progress in classification and lesion analysis. Arthroscopy allowed less invasive treatment options and has rapidly replaced open total to arthroscopic partial meniscectomy with parallel development of meniscal tissue sparing treatments coordinately to statistical results. New promising options raised in development of various techniques of meniscal repair and transplantation. Meniscal repair shows promising results in its ever-evolving techniques including inside-out, outside-in and all inside. In the 1990s began the era of meniscal replacement as a modern possibility in treating meniscal pathologies. Increased improvements in graft fixation and extended indications for meniscus allografting have widened the demand for meniscal allografts.
