Purpose: Menisci transfer axial loads, while increasing the load-bearing tibiofemoral contact
area and decreasing tibiofemoral contact pressure (CP). Numerous clinical and …

Within the knee joint, the meniscus provides shock absorption and stability by generating
circumferential stresses as load bearing occurs. 1–3 This is enabled by the root attachments …

Background: The biomechanical effects of lateral meniscal posterior root tears with and
without meniscofemoral ligament (MFL) tears in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)–deficient …

Background: Although posterior medial meniscal root (PMMR) repairs are often successful,
postoperative meniscal extrusion after a root repair has been identified as a potential clinical …

Purpose To investigate the stabilizing effect of a lateral meniscus posterior root repair in an
ACL and root deficient knee. Methods The hypothesis of the current study was that a …

Purpose To assess patient history, physical examination findings, magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) and 3-dimensional computed tomographic (3D CT) measurements of those …

Background: Surgical treatment of lateral meniscal tears can be challenging due to the
greater mobility of the lateral meniscus, thin capsule, and management of the popliteal …

Half of adults will experience knee pain at some point during their lives, resulting in
approximately 4 million primary care office visits in the USA annually. 1 The majority of these …

Background: The lateral meniscus posterior root (LMPR) lesion further decreases dynamic
knee stability after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury owing to the loss of the “wedge …

In this review article, the authors describe the most current knowledge surrounding meniscal
root tears with a primary focus on diagnosis, management, and implications for the health of …
