Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Tibial Meniscus Injuries:

1.	Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT)IBA 10/26/2023 - "The study aimed to focus on a homogeneous population of isolated repair of the bucket handle tear (BHT) of the medial meniscus (MM) in patients with stable knees to evaluate failure rate at a minimum of three years of follow-up. " 07/01/2022 - "Bucket handle tear (BHT) is a full-thickness tear of the meniscus usually involving the inner portion of the medial meniscus. " 02/01/2020 - "Distinguishing an RSM from a bucket handle tear (BHT) with a displaced fragment in the intercondylar notch is challenging and there are reports of negative arthroscopies for suspected BHTs. " 01/01/2020 - "Medial meniscal tears were noted in 40.5% (55/111) of dogs, including bucket handle tears (BHT) in 65.6% (36/55) of tears. " 11/01/2017 - "Double posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) sign is a sign on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which is suggestive of a bucket- handle tear (BHT) of the meniscus. "
2.	Biomarkers (Surrogate Marker)IBA 07/01/2005 - "In this study, the degeneration process of bucket-handle tear of the meniscus was investigated using histological and biochemical markers. "
3.	Retinaldehyde (Retinal)IBA 02/01/1986 - "These included operculated and flap tears, trophic round holes, lattice degeneration with holes, and paravascular retinal "pitting" degeneration. " 01/01/2020 - "[Preventive laser treatment of tractional symptomatic retinal flap tears: long-term outcomes]." 01/01/1986 - "It was unsuccessful in one eye, in which, despite several subsequent conventional interventions, proliferative vitreoretinopathy developed, and in a second eye, in which a circumscribed retinal elevation around a large flap tear persists. " 06/01/1985 - "Complications included one retinal flap tear, two macular holes, six eyes with cystoid macular edema, and ten retinal detachments. " 01/01/1990 - "The latter condition can be classified in to three groups: (1) low risk (patients with no history of retinal detachment, intraocular surgery or posterior vitreous detachment, myopia less than three diopters): treatment of atrophic holes and lattice degeneration is not justified, treatment of flap tears according to the circumstances; (2) medium risk (patients with no history of retinal or posterior vitreous detachment; however, myopia of more than three diopters and/or aphakia): the treatment of lattice degeneration is not justified; treatment of breaks according to the circumstances; (3) high risk: (patients with symptoms of posterior vitreous detachment): the treatment of lattice degeneration and atrophic holes is not justified: treatment of tears is necessary; fellow eyes: the treatment of retinal breaks is necessary; treatment of lattice degeneration seems advisable in cases with bilateral symmetric findings or prior to cataract extraction. "
4.	CollagenIBA 01/01/2007 - "Additionally, to make the method more clinically relevant in modeling a bucket-handle tear, the bovine meniscal slices were cut with collagen fibers parallel to the test slice's length. " 12/01/1997 - "One patient, who had had a repair of a bucket-handle tear of the medial meniscus and augmentation with the collagen scaffold, had retearing of the cartilage nineteen months after implantation. "
5.	Collagen Type II (Type II Collagen)IBA 10/10/2017 - "In conjunction, human meniscal cells isolated from non-repairable bucket handle tears and human MSCs were expanded and, using the pellet culture model, assessed for their meniscus-like potential in a translational setting through collagen type I and II immunostaining, collagen type II enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and gene expression analysis. "
6.	Collagen Type I (Type I Collagen)IBA 10/10/2017 - "In conjunction, human meniscal cells isolated from non-repairable bucket handle tears and human MSCs were expanded and, using the pellet culture model, assessed for their meniscus-like potential in a translational setting through collagen type I and II immunostaining, collagen type II enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and gene expression analysis. "
7.	Mitomycin (Mitomycin-C)FDA LinkGeneric 11/01/2019 - "Mitomycin-C can routinely be used in septoplasty to prevent post op adhesions, particularly in cases of submucosal flap tears/concurrent turbinate reduction procedures."
8.	SteroidsIBA 12/01/2020 - "Multivariate Cox regression identified older age, workers' compensation status, diabetes, and various tear types (i.e., longitudinal, transverse, bucket handle, complex) as predictors of early clinically significant outcome achievement (hazard ratio: 1.02-24.72), whereas subsequent steroid injection, higher preoperative scores and root and flap tears predicted delays in clinically significant outcome achievement (hazard ratio: 0.12-0.99). "
9.	ImmunosorbentsIBA 10/10/2017 - "In conjunction, human meniscal cells isolated from non-repairable bucket handle tears and human MSCs were expanded and, using the pellet culture model, assessed for their meniscus-like potential in a translational setting through collagen type I and II immunostaining, collagen type II enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and gene expression analysis. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Meniscectomy 08/01/1983 - "Meniscectomy alone cured the symptoms of instability in 22 of the patients and a further eight required no further surgical treatment; bucket-handle tears were associated with a good result and posterior-horn tears with a poor result. " 05/01/2023 - "Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy of the bucket-handle tears is a commonly performed procedure. " 01/01/2019 - "The patient was operated on elective list and underwent lateral meniscus posterior flap tear partial meniscectomy as the tear was in the white zone. " 01/01/2019 - "ACLR with a concurrent medial meniscectomy for a medial meniscus bucket-handle tear resulted in significantly decreased contact area (P < .05) and increased mean and peak pressure in both the medial and lateral compartments across all tested flexion angles (P < .05). " 01/01/2019 - "To compare the impact of an inside-out repair versus meniscectomy of a medial meniscus bucket-handle tear in restoring native contact areas and pressures across the tibial plateaus in the setting of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR). "
2.	Sutures (Suture) 12/01/2023 - "The KOOS score was improved by the meniscal suture by an average of 22.2 points for each sub-score (p<0.05), with an improvement, which was more marked for the bucket-handle tears. " 12/01/2023 - "MM sutures in stable knees improve knee function but present a different risk of failure depending on the type of lesion treated with a higher risk of failure for bucket-handle tears with the need for caution to be applied with regards to weight-bearing and smoking. " 12/01/2023 - "Three-hundred and sixty-seven MM sutures, including 122 bucket-handle tears, were included. " 01/01/2022 - "In total, 60 longitudinal bucket-handle tears in human cadaveric menisci were created and repaired with a single stitch and randomly assigned to 4 all-inside groups (TrueSpan, FastFix 360, Stryker AIR, FiberStich) and 2 inside-out groups (suture repair [IO-S], suture tape [IO-ST]). " 11/01/2020 - "Despite the fact that failure rate remains high for medial meniscus bucket-handle tears, suture repair of bucket-handle tears should be encouraged taking into account the long-term consequences of menisectomy."
3.	Knee Replacement Arthroplasty (Total Knee Replacement) 07/01/2003 - "Bucket-handle tear in retained meniscus after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty." 01/01/1999 - "Symptomatic bucket handle tear of the lateral meniscus after knee arthroplasty." 07/01/2003 - "This article discusses an interesting and unusual complication of unicondylar knee arthroplasty, in which a retained meniscus resulted in a bucket-handle tear with symptoms that responded well to arthroscopic meniscectomy." 08/01/2013 - "Menisci excised from 23 patients aged 15 to 80 years who underwent meniscal surgery for flap and bucket handle tears (n=11) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteoarthritis (n=12) were examined histologically. "
4.	Trephining 04/01/2004 - "Lateral meniscus tears that are posterior horn tears, stable radial flap tears, or peripheral or posterior third tears that do not extend further than 1 cm in front of the popliteus tendon can be treated successfully with abrasion and trephination or by being left in situ. "
