Arthroscopic suture anchor repair of posterior root attachment injury in medial meniscus: technical note.
A root attachment injury (root tear) of the meniscus can abolish the ability of the meniscus to bear hoop stress and predispose to increase articular contact stress which contribute to femorotibial degenerative changes. A pull out suture technique to repair the root tear has been described, but the procedure making the tibial tunnel may be difficult and troublesome. This article describes a repair technique using a suture anchor and posterior trans-septal portal.
