Meniscal root tears are defined as soft-tissue and/or osseous injuries that rip or avulse within one centimeter of the meniscal insertion to the tibial plateau. These injuries impact around 100,000 patients a year and make up 10 % to 21 % of all meniscal tears. Meniscal extrusion frequently happens when there are root rips, and the transmission of circumferential hoop loads is hampered.
