Abstract:
Medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) is a common medial meniscus injury among elderly patients and often necessitates repair. Although the clinical outcomes of MMPRT repair have demonstrated improvements, subsequent second-look arthroscopy shows poor healing postrepair. Consequently, numerous repair techniques have been reported. Herein, we introduce a simple locking-suture method, the "delta-grip" stitch, for MMPRT repair. This technique exhibited sufficient pullout strength compared with conventional suturing methods, offering promising prospects for enhancing the outcomes of MMPRT repair.
