Abstract
➤ The medial and lateral menisci have an important role in load-bearing and shock absorption and contribute to knee stability, with meniscectomy resulting in increased anterior translation of the femoral condyle on the tibia.➤ Meniscal repair provides improved long-term outcomes, better clinical outcome scores, and less severe degenerative changes seen radiographically compared with partial meniscectomy.➤ Given the potential long-term sequelae of meniscal pathology, patients with symptomatic meniscal tears warrant a thorough assessment with surgical consultation to determine the optimal treatment strategy.➤ Advancements in surgical techniques and biologic augmentation have expanded the indications for meniscal repair to include tear patterns previously considered irreparable.
