Recent interest has uncovered the importance of understanding meniscal root anatomy, its effect on biomechanics of the knee joint, and appropriate treatment modalities. meniscal root tears may account for up to one fifth of all meniscal tears and have downstream consequences that can be as severe as total meniscectomy due to the unique force dispersing properties of the meniscus. meniscal.
Wiroc Global March 25 March 27 2022 Narang Medical Advances in treatment of meniscus root tears. nov. 21, 2023. out of seemingly nowhere, individuals can have acute knee symptoms despite participating in only low impact activities. they feel as though something is free floating in the affected knee. the feeling is almost like a watermelon seed sliding around with a pinching sensation, according. Abstract. meniscal root tears represent radial tears or avulsions of the meniscal cartilage at the tibial attachment site that profoundly affect meniscal biomechanics and kinematics. meniscal root tears have the functional effect of a total meniscectomy and can lead to rapid degenerative change with development of early knee osteoarthritis (oa). The meniscus root is an attachment of the anterior and posterior horns of the meniscus onto the tibia, and its primary function is to prevent extrusion under axial load. meniscus root tear constitutes 15% to 20% of meniscus tear. with the increased incidence of root tears being diagnosed commonly, many newer morphologic patterns of root tears have been detected, and the need to extend the. The meniscus root attachment aids meniscal function by securing the meniscus in place and allowing for optimal shock absorbing function in the knee. with root tears, meniscal extrusion often occurs, and the transmission of circumferential hoop stresses is impaired. this alters knee biomechanics and kinematics and significantly increases.

The meniscus root attachment aids meniscal function by securing the meniscus in place and allowing for optimal shock absorbing function in the knee. with root tears, meniscal extrusion often occurs, and the transmission of circumferential hoop stresses is impaired. this alters knee biomechanics and kinematics and significantly increases. Meniscal root tears are defined as bony or soft tissue root avulsion injuries or radial tears within 1 cm of meniscus root attachment ( 1 – 4 ). these tears are increasingly being recognized as a cause of morbidity, development of early osteoarthritis (oa), and altered joint kinematics when not surgically repaired ( 3, 5 – 9 ). Meniscal root tears, less common than meniscal body tears and frequently unrecognized, are a subset of meniscal injuries that often result in significant knee joint disorders. the meniscus root attachment aids meniscal function by securing the meniscus in place and allowing for optimal shock absorbing function in the knee.
