Repair of the posterior root of the medial meniscus

Second-Look Arthroscopic Findings After Repairs of Posterior Root Tears of the Medial Meniscus

“…They also reported that all repaired menisci had healed completely by second-look arthroscopy, without additional chondral lesions. The latest study on the clinical outcome of root repair was conducted by Jones et al, 13 with a mean follow-up period of 23 months; they too achieved excellent results.…”

Transtibial pullout repair of medial meniscus posterior root tears: effects on the meniscus healing score and ICRS grade among patients with mild osteoarthritis of the knee

“…Obesity, ageing, and delay in surgery (i.e. prolonged time from injury to surgery) have been reported as poor prognostic factors after MMPRT repair [12, 14, 18, 33]. The clinical studies that control for these poor prognostic factors are necessary.…”

Meniscal Root Tears: Patient Demographics and Clinical Outcomes After Arthroscopic Repair Using Suture Anchors Via a Posteromedial Portal and Trans-Tibial Tunnel Fixation

“…Introduction: Radial root tears of the posterior horn of the menisci result in altered knee biomechanics (1,2) and significant joint pathology if left untreated (3). Arthroscopic repair using an accessory posteromedial portal has been developed to facilitate identification and repair of these tears (4)(5)(6). The objective of our study was to evaluate demographics and clinical outcomes of patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of meniscal roots tears using suture anchors via a trans-tibial tunnel through a posteromedial portal.…”
