If left untreated, meniscal root tears can lead to the rapid onset of osteoarthritis similar to that seen after a total meniscectomy. The root attachments of the posterior horns of the medial and lateral meniscus are very important for joint health.
When these are torn, the loading of the joint is equivalent to having no meniscus on the affected side This article entails the Indirect fixation of Meniscal Root Tears The description by pagnani and colleagues has generated considerable interest in the Meniscus posterior horn root tears with associated extrusion. Additionally, Allaire and Colleagues, in 2008 have shown a medial meniscus posterior horn root avulsion is biomechanically tantamount to a complete meniscectomy due to the abnormally high peak tibiofemoral contact pressures. Several studies have…
