AI Article Synopsis
- Meniscus root tears are serious injuries that are often overlooked, especially since they commonly occur with ACL injuries.
- The review provides an in-depth look at different factors about meniscal root tears, such as how often they happen, what causes them, and how they can be diagnosed through signs and imaging.
- It also covers how meniscus root tears are categorized and the different treatment options and surgical methods available for addressing them.
Article Abstract
Background: Meniscus root tears represent significant pathology that, historically, has been underdiagnosed and undertreated. However, the recognition of their clinical and functional significance has recently surged, mainly due to their frequent association with anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
Aim: This comprehensive review discusses various aspects of meniscal root tears, including their epidemiology, biomechanics, etiology, clinical and radiological findings, classification, management and surgical techniques.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Medial Meniscus Root Tears: Is Surgery the Key to Better Outcomes?

Medial meniscus root tears (MMRTs) are serious injuries that disrupt knee biomechanics, often accelerating cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis when left untreated. These injuries are increasingly recognized as a major cause of knee pain and functional limitations, particularly among middle-aged and older adults. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the outcomes of conservative management compared to surgical intervention for MMRT, focusing on pain relief, functional recovery, and the progression of osteoarthritis.

Tears of the posterior medial meniscus root (PMMR) are common in older patients and reportedly contribute to rapid joint degeneration over time. Recognition of these tear types and the appropriate diagnosis through clinical exam and diagnostic imaging have improved significantly in recent years, as have surgical techniques to address them. Standardized post-operative rehabilitation protocols specific to PMMR repair have not been established or well understood in the scientific literature.

Purpose: Medial meniscus ramp lesions (MMRLs), lateral meniscus posterior root tears (LMPRTs), and anterolateral complex injuries (ALCIs) are major secondary stabiliser injuries associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the number of secondary stabiliser injuries on knee instability in ACL injuries.
Methods: Patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction between January 2017 and May 2023 were enroled in this study.
Background: The co-occurrence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture with medial collateral ligament (MCL) rupture is a compound injury that can be associated with meniscal tears.
Purpose: To report the characteristics of meniscal tears in knees with isolated ACL versus combined ACL and MCL injuries, analyzing their frequency, distribution by site, and lesion type.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.
Medial and Lateral Meniscus Root Tear: Etiopathogenesis and Morphological Pattern in Indian Population.
Indian J Orthop

Ivy Hospital, Mohali, Punjab India.
Objective: This study aims to enhance our understanding of the morphological pattern, causes and pathogenesis of meniscal root injuries in the Indian population.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-four patients with meniscus root tears were included in the study. The patients were categorized into two groups based on the location of the meniscus tear: Group 1 ( = 41) comprised patients with lateral meniscus root injury (LMRI), and Group 2 ( = 23) included patients with medial meniscus root injury (MMRI).
