Evaluation of the inter and intraobserver reproducibility of the "defect coverage index method", a new computed tomography assessment method of sagittal graft positioning in arthroscopic bone block procedures.

Purpose: To assess the reproducibility of a new 2-dimensional computed tomography (CT) method of assessing graft positioning in arthroscopic bone block procedure.

Methods: This is a prospective observational study. Twenty-seven patients, (all men, mean [Standard deviation] age at surgery 30.

Repair of the Posterior Lateral Meniscal Root Tear: Suture Anchor Fixation Through the Outside-In Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Femoral Tunnel.

Posterior lateral meniscus root tears are defined as tears that occur within 9 mm of the posterior lateral meniscus insertion or as avulsions of the insertion. If root tears are left unrepaired, functional alterations and early degenerative changes occur in the affected compartment. Several surgical techniques have been described to reattach the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, including transtibial pull-out technique and side-to-side repair technique.
