We reviewed 31 patients treated by meniscal suture from 1994 to 1998. They consisted 19 males and 12 females with a mean age of 19.1 years (range : 10-34 years). The average follow-up period was 9.6 months (range ; 1 to 36 months). We evaluated factors about the return to sports activity after meniscal repair. The important factors are sex (female), age (after 30 years), ligament insufficiency, and type of sports (requiring jumping). The rehabilitation method shoud be considered to shorten the return period to sports activity.
