It has been shown the peak tibiofemoral contact pressure after a total meniscectomy is equal to a posterior medial meniscal root tear. Recent kinematic/biomechanical studies have also shown the ...

Meniscal repair in this setting is unlikely to heal or restore function. Coronal MRI appearance of a radial tear near the root junction of the posterior horn medial meniscus with extrusion is shown.

Like a lot of knee injuries, a meniscus tear can be painful and debilitating. Unfortunately, it's quite common. In fact, a meniscal tear is one of the most frequently occurring cartilage injuries ...

and a peripheral medial meniscal tear involving the posterior horn close to the meniscocapsular junction (Figure 5).

They found that there is a significantly increased likelihood of a complete posterior lateral meniscal root tear needing repair after injuring the ACL for a second time and requiring a revision ACL ...

Meniscal tears are most commonly due to twisting injuries ... tear because it has a distinct “double PCL” sign, where the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) looks doubled because of the ...

Tears can occur in the anterior segment (anterior horn), middle segment, (body) or posterior segment (posterior ... of irritation to the joint. Medial meniscus tears are more common.

Limitations include the need for a formal incision and inability to reach more posterior tears. Technological advancements include bioabsorbable sutureless meniscal fixation devices, such as ...
