Evaluation of the association of ligamentum mucosum with anterior knee pain and the effect of ligamentum mucosum excision due to femoral attachment on arthroscopic surgery time
Abstract
Aim: The main purpose of the study was to determine the duration of excisions made from the femoral attachment of the ligamentum mucosum during knee arthroscopy and the duration of excision from the portion attached to the retropatellar fat pad and evaluate which anatomic area excision shortens the surgical time. The second purpose of this study was to determine whether the excision of ligamentum mucosum has an effect on anterior knee pain with age.
Materials and methods: 64 patients were included in this retrospective study. Patients were assigned into two groups based on the ligamentum mucosum excision technique, and ligamentum mucosum excision times were calculated. Ligamentum mucosum excision was performed from the femoral attachment site in 34 and retropatellar fat pad attachment in 30 patients. Patients were divided into two groups younger or older than 40 years of age, regardless of the excision technique. All patients were evaluated with Kujala scores.
Results: Mean excision time of ligamentum mucosum was found to be 17.4 ±3.4 s in group excision from the femoral intercondylar node and the mean excision time was found to be 49 ±10.7 s from retropatellar fat pad attachment region. The mean Kujala score in the >40 year old group was 84.8 ±6.4, and in the <40 year old group was 94 ±5.5.
Conclusion: Excision made from the intercondylar node can shorten the surgical time relative to that of the excision made from the retropatellar fat pad. Clinical results of patients <40 years of age were better than those of patients aged >40 years of age.
