How Meniscal Root Repair is performed
This procedure can optionally use transosseous traction sutures or anchor fixation, depending on the tear morphology and bone quality. Typically, the root bed is explored and prepared under arthroscopy, sutures are placed, and the root is repositioned and fixed through the tibial tunnel or with anchors, with treatment of combined lesions if necessary. Postoperatively, focus on monitoring swelling and stability, and cooperate with brace and restricted weight-bearing rehabilitation, with the goal of restoring hoop tension and joint mechanics. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific treatment should be based on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
