No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Meniscal root tears have been recently recognized to be one of the most common causes for the progression of arthritis in relatively young patients. The purpose of the study will be to assess if the addition of a transtibial peripheral stabilization suture helps to decrease both meniscal extrusion and if it helps to decrease the progression of osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee in the early timeframe postoperatively.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

MRI

MRI for standard of care meniscus root repair surgery - noting with an added stabilization suture if it is able to successfully slow down the progression of osteoarthritis versus a standard root repair surgery.
