recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy"

DOI: 10.1007/s00167-018-5341-4

Abstract: PurposeExtrusion of the medial meniscus evaluated on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been described as indirect radiological sign for meniscus root tears. However, ultrasound detectable dynamic extrusion is observed in normal physiological settings. The aim… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00167-019-05771-1

Abstract: No comparative studies of outcomes between degenerative medial meniscus posterior root tear (MM PRT) and non-root tear (NRT) have been conducted. This study aimed to compare joint survival and clinical outcome between MM PRT and… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Arthroscopy Techniques"

DOI: 10.1016/j.eats.2017.05.014

Abstract: The meniscus roots are critical for meniscus function in preserving correct knee kinematics and avoiding meniscus extrusion and, consequently, in the progression of osteoarthritis. Several techniques exist for medial meniscus posterior root tear repair; however,… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2023 at "Journal of biomechanical engineering"

DOI: 10.1115/1.4062524

Abstract: The meniscus serves important load-bearing functions and protects the underlying articular cartilage. Unfortunately, meniscus tears are common and impair the ability of the meniscus to distribute loads, increasing the risk of developing osteoarthritis. Therefore, surgical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/2325967119s00465

Abstract: Meniscal root tears often go unnoticed and represent unique injury patterns with unique biomechanical consequences. Meniscal root tear occurs about 10-21% of all meniscal tears. Almost 10% of ACL tears involving posterior lateral meniscus tears.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/23259671241241094

Abstract: Background: Most studies regarding medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) report total Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscale values as important patient-reported outcomes, but there are few symptom-specific characterizations of patients with MMPRT.… read more here.
