Transosseous Repair of Isolated Posterior Medial Meniscal Root Injuries in Children and Adolescents. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • The meniscal roots are critically important for maintaining knee stability, functional load distribution, and proper knee kinematics. Although adult meniscal root injuries have been a topic of increasing research, medial meniscus injuries also occur in pediatric and adolescent patients, with up to 2% of meniscal injuries involving root attachments. The purpose of this Technical Note is to demonstrate the transosseous repair of isolated posterior medial meniscal root injuries in children and adolescents, including tear visualization on magnetic resonance imaging and during arthroscopy, operative technique, and postoperative management.
