Meniscal Root Tear

Meniscal root tears often go unnoticed and represent unique injury patterns with unique biomechanical consequences. Meniscal root tear occurs about 10-21% of all meniscal tears. Almost 10% of ACL tears involving posterior lateral meniscus tears. Meniscal root tears interrupt the continuity of the circumferential fibers, hence meniscus will fail to function as a shock absorber and load distributor. The biomechanical implication is the accelerated degeneration of the joint comparable to total meniscectomy. Repair of meniscal root tear will reduce contact pressure and increase contact area biomechanically similar to the uninjured meniscus. However, the repair must be done as anatomic as possible. Otherwise, the goal of restoring the meniscus function may not be achieved. Sign and symptoms, physical examination and radiological findings that may suggest a meniscal root tear will be discussed in this paper. Moreover, an overview of the management will also be described.

Background: Meniscal posterior root tears, which are often associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, lead to the loss of normal biomechanical and kinematic behavior of menisci. Several arthroscopic techniques have been introduced to address this kind of injury. In this video, a simple all-inside technique to repair posterior lateral root tear (PLRT) is presented. Indications: To repair type 1, type 2, and type 4 PLRT. Technique: The torn lateral meniscus root is sutured to the medial fibers of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), with an arthroscopic all-inside repair system, with the purpose of reproducing the stabilizing function of the meniscofemoral ligaments. Results: This procedure allows restoration of the correct position of the detached horn, and restores meniscal stability with satisfactory clinical outcomes. Discussion/Conclusion: The technique described represents a simple and fast arthroscopic all-inside procedure to repair PLRT in association with concomitant procedure, such as ACL reconstruction. However, outcome reports of this technique are still lacking in the literature, and further studies are needed to confirm the authors’ results.
