Results from a U.S. study, STITCH, evaluating Smith & Nephew’s (NYSE:SNN) NOVOSTITCH Meniscal Repair System in 30 patients with horizontal cleavage tears demonstrated its effectiveness. At month 6, there were no re-operations and all patients experienced meniscal healing (no visible defect during needle biopsy).
Horizontal tears comprise about 1/3 of meniscal tear injuries.
