[Postoperative treatment of medial meniscectomy with an elastic bandage of the Van Unen type].
On the basis of a clinical review of a consecutive series of 27 medial meniscectomies of the knee, the authors report the results obtained by the systematic use of the Van Unen elastic bandage ii the post-operative period. The use of this technique would appear to be advantageous both as a means of speeding up functional recovery of the joint operated on and as a means of preventing complications of an arthrosynovitic type which are often secondary to early rehabilitation treatments.
