Learn about meniscus root tears, a painful and debilitating injury that affects the knee joint. Find out how Mayo Clinic's research and surgery can restore the meniscus position and function, and improve outcomes for patients.
16 Μαρ 2022 · HIGHLIGHTS. •. Meniscal root repair has become the treatment of choice for meniscal root tears in knees with nonadvanced OA to delay OA progression. •. Radiologists should be familiar with direct and indirect signs of meniscal root tears on MRI, as well as with MRI-based classification of root tears. •.
Treatment options for anterior horn medial meniscus root tears include nonoperative treatment, partial meniscectomy, and meniscal root repair. 1 Recently, meniscal root repair has gained popularity over traditional meniscectomies because of the reduced incidence of progression to osteoarthritis 7 and improved postoperative function and stability compared to partial meniscectomy. 8 In addition ...
11 Ιαν 2016 · Rehabilitation of meniscal root repairs follows a linear periodization protocol based on progressive loading of the repair. The first 6 weeks are focused on non-weight bearing (NWB) protection, followed by 2 to 3 weeks of gradual progressive WB.
14 Οκτ 2024 · Medial meniscal root tears pose significant challenges in orthopaedic practice, disrupting knee biomechanics and predisposing to degenerative changes. This article introduces an arthroscopic repair technique tailored for posterior root tears of the medial meniscus.
21 Οκτ 2022 · Perhaps the most obvious technique to restore meniscal function is an all-inside direct end-to-end repair of a radial tear. In the meniscal root, specifically, this would manifest as a gray area between type 2 C tears and very posterior radial tears of the meniscal horn.
Root repairs have been reported to improve clinical outcomes, decrease meniscal extrusion and slow the onset of degenerative changes. Here we describe the anatomy, biomechanics, clinical evaluation, treatment methods, outcomes, and post-operative rehabilitation for posterior meniscal root tears.
