Significant associations exist between surgical timing and meniscal healing in adolescent ACL injuries.
About 45.3% of individual meniscal tears demonstrated spontaneous healing following reconstructive surgery.
The multivariate analysis highlighted early surgical intervention and medial meniscus location as key predictors of healing.
Delays in surgery related to higher rates of new meniscal tears were observed, emphasizing the need for timely intervention.

Implication

Retrospective cohort study shows earlier surgery improves meniscal healing in adolescents, suggesting better outcomes. Medial tears heal more than lateral tears, indicating location matters.
