Video Summary
This presentation discusses an advanced surgical technique for medial meniscus root repair, emphasizing the poor outcomes of non-operative management and partial meniscectomy. The speaker highlights the importance of accurate MRI diagnosis and arthroscopy to detect root tears. The preferred technique involves centralizing the meniscus to reduce extrusion, using knotless suture anchors, and trans-tibial suture fixation. A three-suture method is used for secure repair. Clinical results show healing but persistent extrusion. The approach requires good joint exposure and possibly ligament release for meniscus mobility. Concerns about limiting meniscal motion lead to cautious application, avoiding lateral meniscus repairs pending further validation.
