Cadaveric tests reveal surgical repair preserves joint contact forces in medial meniscus tears, suggesting a preferred approach.
These cadaveric tests suggest that horizontal cleavage meniscal tears of the medial meniscus posterior horn are not biomechanically detrimental to joint contact forces during simulated gait. If they must be surgically treated for symptomatic reasons, meniscal repair is biomechanically favorable over inferior leaflet resection.
