Abstract
A ramp lesion is a specific type of tear in the meniscocapsular junction of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, usually associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Biomechanical cadaveric studies have shown that ACL injury combined with ramp lesions significantly increases anterior tibial translation and external rotation, which ACL reconstruction alone cannot completely control. Additionally, ramp lesions are sometimes associated with medial meniscal defects, especially in cases of chronic ACL deficiency after repetitive traumatic events, in which the anatomical repair of the meniscocapsular junction is infeasible. This report describes a new arthroscopic repair technique using an all-suture anchor through a posteromedial portal for unstable ramp lesions with medial meniscal defects.
