Abstract:
Repair of medial meniscus posterior root tear is important in preventing rapid progression of knee osteoarthritis. There are many repair techniques for medial meniscus posterior root tears, and good clinical results have been reported. Conversely, in terms of improving extrusion and healing meniscal injuries, sufficient results have not been obtained. Reconstruction of the medial meniscus posterior root can restore meniscal hoop action and normal knee biomechanics. Moreover, pull-out repair technique provides strong traction. We describe arthroscopic medial meniscus posterior root reconstruction and pull-out repair technique combined technique for medial meniscus root tear.
