Abstract:
The simultaneous presence of posterior horn root tears in both the medial and lateral menisci along with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is uncommon. Literature is scarce that addresses the concurrent repair of medial and lateral meniscus root tears alongside ACL reconstruction. We discuss the management of concomitant medial meniscus posterior horn root tear, lateral meniscus posterior horn root tear, and ACL tear. Challenges may arise, including difficulty in accessing the medial meniscal root tear, confusion regarding the sequence of repair, and the risk of tunnel coalition within the tibial bone during each procedure. In response, we offer a detailed, step-by-step arthroscopic technique aimed at efficiently addressing these obstacles while saving time.

Posttensioned Masonry Walls
Post-tensioned masonry walls use high-strength steel rods or flexible tendons to enhance the strength and efficiency of masonry structures. These elements are securely anchored to the foundation and extend vertically either within the cores of the masonry units or between the masonry wythes. The construction process involves building the wall with these tensioning elements in place and allowing the mortar to fully cure.
Following the curing process, the tensioning begins. Steel rods are...
