Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Sports medicine
  • Knee biomechanics

Background:

  • Meniscal root tears cause significant knee dysfunction and cartilage damage.
  • Untreated tears increase the risk of osteoarthritis and total knee arthroplasty.
  • Repair is recommended for tears with intact articular cartilage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evaluation, treatment, and outcomes of meniscal root repair.
  • To highlight the benefits of repair over conservative management.
  • To emphasize the importance of repair for knee function preservation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent literature on meniscal root tears and their management.
  • Focus on the transtibial pull-out repair technique.
  • Analysis of functional outcomes, osteoarthritis development, and economic impact.

Main Results:

  • Medial meniscus root repair shows favorable results, decreasing osteoarthritis and arthroplasty rates.
  • The transtibial pull-out technique is biomechanically sound and utilizes standard arthroscopic portals.
  • Meniscal root repair is economically effective, reducing overall healthcare costs.

Conclusions:

  • Meniscal root repair is imperative for preserving knee function and quality of life.
  • Repair offers superior outcomes compared to partial meniscectomy or nonsurgical management.
  • This surgical intervention is a cost-effective strategy for managing meniscal root tears.
