Abstract

The importance of treating meniscal root tears has been increasingly recognized, and surgeons have to make conscious decisions routinely regarding repair for select patients. The clinical and patient demographic differences between medial and lateral meniscal root tears are important and ultimately leave us wondering whether outcome differences are due to unique anatomic factors or the patient population sustaining these injuries.

摘要

半月板根部撕裂的治疗重要性日益受到重视，外科医生在选择患者时需要经常做出修复的有意识决定。内侧和外侧半月板根部撕裂的临床和患者人口统计学差异很重要，最终让我们怀疑结果差异是由于独特的解剖因素还是承受这些损伤的患者人群造成的。
