1. The structure of fibrin clot and thrombin generation may vary between trimesters of pregnancy. 2. Unfavorably altered fibrin clot properties along with enhanced thrombin generation may lead to the development of complications during pregnancy such as TE and hypertensive disorders. 3. The application of machine learning techniques may help to identify previously undetected phenotypes with increased risk of TE and hypertensive disorders during pregnancy.

Longitudinal meniscal tears are a type of meniscal injury characterized by a displaced fragment of the meniscus that flips over into the joint, often resembling a buckle or handle. These tears typically occur in the medial meniscus and are often associated with traumatic knee injuries, particularly in athletes. The displaced meniscal fragment can cause mechanical symptoms such as locking, clicking, or catching of the knee, as well as pain and swelling. If not properly treated, buckle-handle meniscal tears can lead to further complications, including chronic knee instability, increased risk of osteoarthritis, and persistent joint pain.Repairing a longitudinal meniscal tear offers several advantages over partial meniscectomy, particularly in preserving knee function and preventing long-term complications. Meniscal repair aims to restore the integrity of the meniscus, which plays a crucial role in load distribution, shock absorption, and joint stability. Utilizing a fibrin clot during the repair of a buckle-handle meniscal tear can enhance the healing process and improve surgical outcomes. Fibrin clots act as a biological scaffold, promoting tissue regeneration by providing a matrix that facilitates cellular migration and proliferation. The purpose of this study was to compare longitudinal meniscal tear repair reinforced with fibrin clot with routine end-to-end repair in a prospective randomized controlled trial.
