Purpose The importance of meniscus integrity in the prevention of early osteoarthritis is well
known, and preservation is accepted as the primary goal. The purpose of the ESSKA …

The meniscus is important for load distribution, shock absorption and stability of the knee
joint. Meniscus injury or meniscectomy results in decreased function of the meniscus and …

Background: Ramp lesions are characterized by disruption of the peripheral
meniscocapsular attachments of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. Ramp repair …

Background: Meniscal ramp lesions have been defined as a tear of the peripheral
attachment of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (PHMM) at the meniscocapsular …

Meniscal ramp lesions are more frequently associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
injuries than previously recognized. Some authors suggest that this entity results from …

Background Meniscal ramp lesions have been defined as longitudinal vertical peripheral
tears of the medial meniscus involving the posterior meniscocapsular ligament …

Background: Ramp lesions are defined as a particular type of injury within the posterior horn
of the medial meniscus and its meniscocapsular attachments. Five subtypes have been …

Background: Although the biomechanical importance of the ramp lesion in the anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL)–deficient knee has been demonstrated, there is no clear consensus …

From the biomechanical and biological points of view, an arthroscopic meniscal repair
(AMR) should always be considered as an option. However, AMR has a higher reoperation …
