Arthroscopic Centralization of the Medial Meniscus Reduces Load on a Posterior Root Repair Under Dynamic Varus Loading: A Biomechanical Investigation

Abstract

In addition to the integrity of the meniscal hoop function, both the anterior and posterior meniscus roots as well as the meniscotibial and meniscofemoral ligaments are crucial in restraining meniscal extrusion. However, the interaction and load sharing between the roots and these peripheral attachments (PAs) are not known.
