Cadaveric model reveals similar joint mechanics for medialized and anatomic meniscus root repairs, suggesting potential clinical applications.
This study provides unique data about the mechanical effects of anatomic and medialized root repair throughout simulated gait in a cadaveric model. With minimal changes between the 2 repair states, even at peak compressive and anterior load, there is mechanical justification that a medialized root repair may be an appropriate intervention if an anatomic repair is not possible.
