Abstract
Meniscal root tears, left untreated, result in accelerated progression of arthritis. Numerous techniques to repair medial meniscus posterior root tears have been presented in the literature. Direct repair of the meniscus to bone without reconstructive tissue may result in a nonanatomic and biologically weak construct with a significant number of structural repair failures. Re-creation of the ligament-like structures that fix the meniscal root to bone is critical to restoring normal knee biomechanics. We present an arthroscopic reconstructive technique using gracilis autograft with suture reinforcement for medial meniscus posterior root tears.
