Over the past 15 years, there has been a shift toward meniscus preservation even for previously believed irreparable patterns like bucket handle, radial, meniscus root, vertical, and horizontal cleavage tears (HCTs). HCTs are a common tear pattern, especially as we age, and are estimated to occur in 23% to 32% of meniscus tears. They occur in both males and females, are more common on the medial than the lateral side, and most often occur with minor to normal trauma in an anterior cruciate ligament intact knee.

As a result of research supporting meniscus preservation, evidence shows that internationally, there has been a rise in rates of meniscus repair, especially in younger population, and a decline in rates of partial meniscectomy. The decline in partial meniscectomy has been rather rapid and has outpaced the rise in meniscal repair, likely due to increasing evidence against routine partial meniscectomy in degenerative tears with coexistent arthritis. However, despite the rise in meniscus repair, close to 95% of meniscus surgeries are still partial meniscectomies.
