Meniscal Root Tears: Evaluation Using an Ultrahigh MRI

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Knee Injuries

In brief

Meniscal root tears have been recently recognized to be one of the most common causes for the progression of arthritis in relatively young patients. The purpose of the study will be to assess if the addition of a transtibial peripheral stabilization suture helps to decrease both meniscal extrusion and if it helps to decrease the progression of osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee in the early timeframe postoperatively.
