Arthroscopic Lateral Meniscus Root Repair With Soft Suture Anchor Technique

Meniscus root tear leads to circumferential hoop tension loss and increases femorotibial contact force, which causes irreversible cartilage degeneration. Biomechanical studies have shown that meniscus root repair provides better femorotibial contact force than meniscectomy. Many techniques for menis...
