Background: A meniscal root tear is a radial rupture that occurs within 1 cm of the insertion of the meniscal horn. Meniscal root injuries account for 10.1% of all meniscectomies performed arthroscopically. It has been established as an independent factor in the development and progression of osteoarthritis. The development of degenerative changes in articular cartilage has been linked to stresses that exceed physiological limits.
