ABSTRACT
Posterior root tears of the medial meniscus are radial tears, usually found in patients older than 50 years with degenerative articular cartilage. Partial menisectomy has been the conventional treatment for this condition. However, growing dissatisfaction with partial menisectomy for medial meniscus root tears has led to an increasing interest in meniscal repair. One method for medial meniscus root repairs involves suturing around the region of the tear where the sutures are pulled-out and fixed around the tibia. In another approach, a suture anchor was used for fixation of the medial meniscus root tear. Both methods improved functional outcome scores at least during a short-term follow-up period. However, complete healing of the repaired root seemed to be less predictable. Strict patient selection, good surgical skills and proper postoperative rehabilitation are the key factors for successful repairs of medial meniscus root tears.
