Abstract

Meniscus root tears biomechanically disrupt normal joint loading and lead to joint overload with the possible development of spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee and early-onset osteoarthritis. Proper identification and treatment of meniscal root tears has been proven to restore joint loading and improve patient outcomes.
