Key Points

Investigate the effectiveness of combined arthroscopic repair and high tibial osteotomy in patients with medial meniscus posterior root tears.
Conducted a short-term clinical study with second-look arthroscopy
Assessed healing of meniscal roots and clinical outcomes in patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis
Analyzed the relationship between root healing and clinical improvement
Significant short-term improvement in clinical outcomes observed
Meniscal root healing did not correlate with clinical improvement
Mechanical realignment was suggested to be a primary contributor to positive outcomes

Implication

This short-term study shows improved clinical outcomes in knee osteoarthritis, suggesting alignment plays a key role.

Abstract

ASA repair combined with HTO provides significant short-term improvement in clinical outcomes for MMPRTs with medial compartment OA. However, meniscal root healing did not correlate with clinical improvement, suggesting mechanical realignment plays a primary role.
