Abstract:PurposeTo systematically review and summarize the available literature on (1) postoperative healing rates, meniscal extrusion (ME) and clinical outcomes following lateral (LMPRR) versus medial (MMPRR) root repair and (2) potential correlations between residual ME and healing outcomes.MethodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted using the Scopus, PubMed and Embase databases. Clinical studies evaluating healing status on second‐look arthroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after LMPRR and MMPRR… Show more
