Arthroscopic Transtibial Pull-Out Suture Repair of Posterior Medial Meniscus Root Tears-Surgical Technique

cartilage degeneration and osteophyte formation [2].Posterior meniscal root tears lead to increased tibiofemoral pressures in contact areas, which have been reported to be functionally similar to a total meniscectomy [3,4].If left without treatment, patients may experience increased pain and dysfunction due to progressive degenerative changes, which could lead to early osteoarthritic joint disease [5].Ozkoc, et al. reported outcomes of these tears after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy, demonstrating improvement in clinical outcomes but progression of radiographic OA at a mean follow-up of 4.7 years, suggesting that partial menisectomy likely provides symptomatic relief but does not arrest the progression of OA [6].Over the years, treatment recommendations have shifted toward meniscal preservation.
