No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this research is to determine if meniscus root repair with or without centralization will have an impact on postoperative pain, function, activity levels, patient satisfaction, and incidence of revision meniscus surgery.

Conditions

  • Meniscus Tear

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) repair with meniscus centralization

The centralization technique involves placement of 1.8-mm Knotless FiberTak suture anchors along the periphery of the tibial plateau, starting from the posteromedial corner and progressing anteriorly. The anchors are deployed using a curved drill guide, and sutures are passed in a mattress configuration to re-tension the meniscotibial ligament to centralize the meniscus. Once centralization is complete, the posterior root tear is repaired using an anatomic suture anchor for aperture medial meniscus root fixation.

PROCEDURE

Medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) repair without meniscus centralization

The posterior root tear is repaired using an anatomic suture anchor for aperture medial meniscus root fixation.
