Meniscal centralization restores meniscus–cartilage contact mechanics after posterior root repair: a biomechanical in-silico study

Meniscus centralization limits meniscal displacement, thereby reducing extrusion and increasing the contact area between the meniscus and tibial cartilage. These conclusions are biomechanical inferences drawn under the premise that the centralization surgery provides rigid constraint of the meniscus. They have not yet been validated by large-sample prospective clinical trials, an issue that should be addressed in subsequent studies.
