Video Summary
Dr. Catherine Huey presents a novel surgical technique for concurrent ACL reconstruction and lateral meniscal posterior root repair, addressing a common but often underdiagnosed injury associated with ACL tears. She emphasizes the high incidence of lateral meniscus root tears in ACL injuries, their impact on knee stability, and the risk of tunnel convergence when drilling for repairs. Her technique uses a single tibial cortical aperture with divergent tunnels to avoid collisions, employing a meniscal root guide for precision. This method is versatile, suitable for various meniscal root tears and ACL revisions, and supports multiple fixation options. Repairing these tears is crucial for restoring knee function and protecting ACL grafts.
