| Core Tip |
Age alone should not preclude meniscal repair in patients over 40. Careful tear selection and modern arthroscopic techniques can yield outcomes comparable to younger cohorts while preserving chondroprotection and potentially slowing osteoarthritis progression. Emerging biologic augmentation, such as platelet-rich plasma and bone marrow aspirate concentrate, and structured rehabilitation broaden indications. This review synthesizes current evidence, clarifies patient and tear selection, outlines repair tactics and augmentation, and highlights unresolved risks and research priorities shaping joint-preserving care in the middle-aged knee. |
