Abstract

Abstract

The menisci are important structures within the knee and play a critical role in maintaining proper stability, load distribution, and joint lubrication. Injury to these structures can significantly alter the complex biomechanics of the knee and thus affect the health and longevity of the joint. Meniscal root tears are increasingly recognized as an important pathologic condition that results in a nonfunctional meniscus if not properly repaired. Whereas early treatment of meniscal tears traditionally focused on removal of the injured tissue, recent attention on the long‐term consequences of partial or total meniscectomy has led to increased attempts at meniscal repair whenever possible. This article details our anatomic anterior root repair procedure using a transtibial double‐tunnel pullout technique.
