Medial Meniscus Root Repair Is Associated With Superior Outcomes As Compared With Partial Medial Meniscectomy at Minimum 5 Years: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to compare the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of medial meniscus root repair (MMR) versus partial medial meniscectomy (PMM) for posterior medial meniscus root tears (PMMRTs). Their systematic review and meta-analysis of studies with over five years of follow-up revealed that MMR is associated with significantly lower failure rates, better patient-reported outcomes, and improved radiographic scores compared to PMM, suggesting that MMR offers superior long-term benefits.
