Medial Meniscus Root Repair in Patients With Open Physes.

ABSTRACT: Meniscal root tears have become increasingly recognized in the past decade. Lateral meniscus root tears typically occur in active, younger patients who sustain acute anterior cruciate ligament tears. Conversely, medial meniscus root tears typically occur in isolation and affect middle-aged patients. However, recent reports have described the incidence of meniscal root tears occurring in pediatric populations who are skeletally immature. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the authors' surgical technique for medial meniscal root repair for patients with open physes.

Knotless Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Repair.

Project description:Medial meniscus posterior root tears are common injuries, especially in the Asian world. This injury must be repaired where indicated to restore knee biomechanics and prevent arthritis. Suturing the meniscus using suture tapes provides good hold of the tissue. The use of a 70° arthroscope and creation of a transseptal portal improve visualization of the posterior compartment. Creation of a high posteromedial portal achieves the correct trajectory for the suture anchor insertion. A knotless suture anchor can be used to fix the posterior root at its anatomic attachment site. This obliterates the need for transtibial drilling for a suture pull-out repair or for knot tying and suture shuttling as for a conventional suture anchor.

Plate Hooking Transtibial Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Pull-Out Repair with Medial Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy for Knee Osteoarthritis with Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tear.

Project description:Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRT) are a risk factor for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) because it involves disruption of the hoop structure of the meniscus. In recent years, MMPRT pullout repair has been performed to restore the native anatomy of the meniscus attachment. In addition, medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) has been performed with MMPRT pullout repair to reduce the pressure on the medial compartment. However, it has been noted that when MMPRT pullout repair and HTO are performed simultaneously in a patient, the locking screws of the plate interfere with the tibial bone tunnel, which damages the suture. In this technical note, we developed a method to reduce the probability of interference by placing the plate further anteroinferior when digging the bone tunnel from the PM position. This technical note aimed to provide a comprehensive description of the safety of transtibial MMPRT repair with MOWHTO for medial KOA with MMPRT.

Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Reconstruction and Pull-Out Repair Combined Technique for Root Tear of Medial Meniscus.

Project description:Repair of medial meniscus posterior root tear is important in preventing rapid progression of knee osteoarthritis. There are many repair techniques for medial meniscus posterior root tears, and good clinical results have been reported. Conversely, in terms of improving extrusion and healing meniscal injuries, sufficient results have not been obtained. Reconstruction of the medial meniscus posterior root can restore meniscal hoop action and normal knee biomechanics. Moreover, pull-out repair technique provides strong traction. We describe arthroscopic medial meniscus posterior root reconstruction and pull-out repair technique combined technique for medial meniscus root tear.

Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Repair Using a Transtibial Technique.

Project description:The meniscal roots are critical in maintaining the normal shock absorbing function of the meniscus. If a meniscal root tear is left untreated, meniscal extrusion can occur rendering the meniscus nonfunctional resulting in degenerative arthritis. Two main repair techniques are described: (1) suture anchors (direct fixation) and (2) sutures pulled through a tibial tunnel (indirect fixation). Meniscal root repair using a suture anchor technique is technically challenging requiring a posterior portal and a curved suture passing device that can be difficult to manipulate within the knee. We present a technique for posterior medial meniscus root repair using 3 sutures (1 leader, 2 cinch), standard arthroscopy portals, and transtibial fixation. Overall, this technique simplifies a challenging procedure and allows for familiarity and efficiency.

Delta-Grip Stitch for Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Repair.

Project description:Medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) is a common medial meniscus injury among elderly patients and often necessitates repair. Although the clinical outcomes of MMPRT repair have demonstrated improvements, subsequent second-look arthroscopy shows poor healing postrepair. Consequently, numerous repair techniques have been reported. Herein, we introduce a simple locking-suture method, the "delta-grip" stitch, for MMPRT repair. This technique exhibited sufficient pullout strength compared with conventional suturing methods, offering promising prospects for enhancing the outcomes of MMPRT repair.

Double-Anchor Stapled Repair of the Medial Meniscus Posterior Root.

Project description:There are various treatment options for medial meniscus posterior root tears, such as conservative management, meniscectomy, pull-out repair, and suture anchor repair. However, the ultimate repair technique for optimal meniscal healing remains a topic of discussion, as each technique has its own set of risks and pitfalls. This technique provides a stable and straightforward approach that minimizes fixation-related concerns. However, to determine the optimal applicability of this medial meniscus posterior root tear repair method, further research is needed to compare the biomechanical properties of this repair method with established techniques.

A Reverse Suture Anchor Technique for Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Root Repair.

Project description:Injuries of the posterior root of the medial meniscus can be accompanied by damage to the anterior cruciate ligament or often occur independently in cases of degenerative meniscal injury in older individuals. Anchor suture repair can achieve favorable biomechanical effects and clinical outcomes. However, anchor placement is technically challenging and requires a posterior medial approach, which increases the risk of iatrogenic injury. To address these issues, we have utilized the reverse anchor technique to repair the posterior root of the medial meniscus. This technique offers advantages such as reduced surgical time, simplified operation, and reduced risk of the "bungee effect" and iatrogenic injury.

Nanoscopic Medial Meniscus Repair.

Project description:Arthroscopic meniscus repair is one of the commonly used arthroscopic surgical procedures. Open treatment was the standard for meniscus repairs and recently arthroscopic all-inside treatment has become popular. Novel and more minimally invasive techniques to common arthroscopic procedures are paving the foundation to better patient outcomes. With the use of the NanoScope and nanoinstruments, we continue to develop new minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment techniques that do not require standard portals. The nanoscopic medial meniscus repair technique described here uses a less-invasive approach to a meniscus repair.

Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Repair with Centralization Using Knotless Suture Anchors.

Project description:Medial meniscus posterior root tears can lead to rapid progression of knee arthritis because of loss of the stress distribution function of the meniscus. Medial meniscus root repair can restore stress distribution and improve clinical outcome. In cases of medial meniscus root tears with meniscal extrusion, centralization may help reduce extrusion and protect the root repair. Presented here is a technique for transtibial medial meniscus root repair with centralization using knotless suture anchors, building on previously developed techniques.

Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Transtibial Pullout Repair With Progressively Tensioning Subcortical Fixation Button.

Project description:We describe a surgical technique to repair medial meniscus posterior root tears through a transtibial pullout repair with a subcortical button for tibial fixation. This technique allows progressive tensioning of the repaired root without losing tension both during suturing of the knots above the button and after the procedure, owing to the specific button configuration.
