ABSTRACT
The importance of the menisci in providing joint stability and their role in load transmission within the knee are well understood. A growing body of literature has emerged on 2 distinct injury patterns to these crucial anatomic structures, ramp lesions and root tears. Ramp lesions may be characterized as tears at the posterior meniscocapsular junction, while root tears involve bony or soft tissue avulsion of the meniscal insertions at the anterior or posterior intercondylar regions. In this 2-part review, we present an overview of the current available literature on ramp lesions and meniscal root tears, summarizing the unique anatomic considerations, etiology, biomechanics, management decisions, clinical outcomes pertinent to these very distinct injuries.
