title: Rehabilitation Following Meniscal Root Repair: A Clinical Commentary.
abstract: There is a growing body of evidence surrounding the pathology and treatment of meniscal root tears. As surgical techniques are being developed and refined, rehabilitation protocols for meniscal root repairs must be defined and tested. Little information has been published regarding specific rehabilitation parameters for meniscal root repairs through all phases of rehabilitation. The goal of this commentary is to describe a rehabilitation program for meniscal root repairs that is founded on anatomical, physiological, and biomechanical principles with criteria-based progressions.
