Biomechanical Properties of a Bone Plug Versus Soft Tissue Allograft for Medial Meniscus Root Fixation and the Effect of Peripheral Stabilization.
Key Points
The research aims to compare the biomechanical properties of bone plug and soft tissue allograft for medial meniscus root fixation.
Comparison of biomechanical characteristics at time zero
Evaluation of the effect of peripheral stabilization on fixation modes
Both fixation methods exhibited similar biomechanical characteristics initially
Peripheral stabilization improved outcomes for both fixation methods
Abstract
With current root fixation devices, both ST and BP MAT had generally similar biomechanical characteristics at time zero, and peripheral stabilization seemed to improve both modes of fixation.
