In situ repair of segmental loss posterior lateral meniscal root tears outperforms meniscofemoral ligament imbrication in the ACL reconstructed knee
PurposeThe purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical effect of in-situ repair of posterior lateral meniscal root (PLMR) tear with...
-
Clinical outcomes, healing rate, and presence of peri-meniscal cysts after all-inside meniscal repair in combination with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a prospective comparative study with magnetic resonance imaging assessment
PurposeMeniscal repairs are the most common associated procedures during ACL reconstruction, but they present challenging indications and possible...
-
Clinical and radiologic outcomes in patients with meniscal root tears
BackgroundMeniscal root tears can lead to early knee osteoarthritis and pain. This study aimed (1) to compare clinical and radiological outcomes...
