Injury of the Meniscus Root

Mitchell I Kennedy et al. Clin Sports Med. 2020 Jan.

Abstract

Meniscus root tears biomechanically disrupt normal joint loading and lead to joint overload with the possible development of spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee and early-onset osteoarthritis. Proper identification and treatment of meniscal root tears has been proven to restore joint loading and improve patient outcomes.

Keywords: Ghost sign; Meniscus root; Radial root tear; Transtibial pull-out repair.
