Short-Term Outcomes After Transtibial Repair of Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tears: A Case Series.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: While arthroscopic repair is established for the treatment of medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRT), the relationship between physiotherapy (PT) exposure, meniscal extrusion (ME), and structural healing remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate short-term functional and structural results after transtibial pull-out (TPO) repair of isolated MMPRT and to explore the influence of patient age and postoperative physiotherapy volume. Methods: A retrospective single-center case series with 14 adults (64% women, age 59 years, body mass index (BMI) 31.0 kg/m²) who underwent TPO repair (April 2022-June 2024). Mean follow-up was 18.4 months. Outcomes included range of motion (ROM), pain levels using visual analog scale (VAS), Interna
