Effect of Additional Centralization Procedure on Intraoperative Ultrasound-Assessed Medial Meniscal Extrusion Compared With Medial Meniscal Posterior Root Repair Alone

Key Points

• Medial meniscal extrusion (MME) decreased significantly post-repair with ultrasound assessment, improving outcomes overall.
• The addition of a centralization procedure resulted in greater improvement compared to medial meniscal posterior root repair alone.
• Intraoperative ultrasound findings demonstrated clear reductions in MME, aiding in surgical decision-making during procedures.
• These procedures highlight the potential for improved surgical techniques in treating meniscal injuries, suggesting broader applications.
