Medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) is a common medial meniscus injury among elderly patients and often necessitates repair. Although the clinical outcomes of MMPRT repair have demonstrated improvements, subsequent second-look arthroscopy shows poor healing postrepair. Consequently, numerous repair techniques have been reported. Herein, we introduce a simple locking-suture method, the "delta-grip" stitch, for MMPRT repair. This technique exhibited sufficient pullout strength compared with conventional suturing methods, offering promising prospects for enhancing the outcomes of MMPRT repair.
内侧半月板后根撕裂(MMPRT)是老年患者中常见的内侧半月板损伤,通常需要进行修复。尽管MMPRT修复的临床结果已显示出改善,但随后的二次关节镜检查显示修复后愈合不佳。因此,已报道了许多修复技术。在此,我们介绍一种用于MMPRT修复的简单锁定缝合方法,即“三角握法”缝线。与传统缝合方法相比,该技术表现出足够的拔出强度,为提高MMPRT修复的效果提供了广阔前景。
