Abstract

It has long been recognized that injuries to the menisci have a significantly detrimental effect on knee kinematics and can cause pathology within the knee joint. The consequences of these tears can lead to progressive degenerative changes of the chondral surfaces in the knee. Because of the deleterious sequelae of meniscal root tears, identification of these tears and a means of potential surgical treatment are paramount. The following is a discussion of meniscal root tears and the surgical techniques that can be utilized in operative treatment.
