Multivariate ordered logistic regression analysis of the postoperative effect of symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The postoperative effect of arthroscopy in the treatment of symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) varies greatly among individuals. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the factors affecting the postoperative outcomes of symptomatic DLM.

Materials and methods

According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients with symptomatic single-knee DLM who underwent arthroscopic surgery at our hospital from 9/2008 to 9/2015 were included. Retrospectively collected 16 factors probably affecting postoperative outcomes. The Ikeuchi grade system was used to evaluate the knee joint function. Univariate analysis was performed by Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test or Mann-Whitney U test, and multivariate analysis by ordered logistic regression. P < 0.05 was considere
