Video Summary
Megan Bishop from Rothman Orthopedics discussed meniscal root repair in a course by Anna, focusing on differences between medial and lateral meniscal tears. Root tears can lead to arthritis and require proper identification via MRI. Repairing the root can prevent osteoarthritis progression and total knee replacements. Factors affecting outcomes include chondral lesions and varus alignment. Techniques for root repair include releases, drilling, suturing, and centralization stitches. High tibial osteotomy may not be necessary in most cases. Centralization stitches can reduce extrusion and improve outcomes. Overall, proper repair is crucial for biomechanical restoration and OA prevention.
