Abstract
Meniscus root tears are tears that occur within 1 cm of the meniscus root attachment to the tibia. If not repaired, root tears will lead to altered knee biomechanics and accelerated degenerative changes in the knee. In this surgical technique, we demonstrate repair of a meniscus root tear with an all-inside suture repair of the posterior meniscus that is then passed through 2 transtibial tunnels and then fixed with an anchor. After surgery, patients are non-weightbearing for 4 weeks and can return to activity by 6 months.
