“…Meniscus root tears can lead to loss of hoop tension, and pathologic loads can lead to degenerative arthritis 1314151617. Root repair can restore meniscal hoop tension and slow arthritic progression in most cases 18192021. We assume this to be one of the reasons for higher meniscus repair ratio in Korea than that in the United States among middle-aged and older patients.…”

Background Meniscus surgeries are frequently performed in orthopaedics. However, their current status is not well known in many countries, including Korea. This study aimed to investigate the national trends of meniscus surgery in Korea. Methods Information from the national database was acquired through the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service from 2010 to 2017. All cases coded as meniscectomy or meniscus repair were included. The total number and incidence of cases of meniscus surgery per 100,000 persons were determined, and the results were stratified by age and gender. The meniscus repair ratio for the total number of meniscus surgeries was evaluated. Results The total number and incidence of meniscectomy cases were 65,752 and 137, respectively, in 2010, which increased to 74,088 and 154, respectively, in 2017. The number of meniscectomies increased by 12.67% in 8 years. The total number and incidence of meniscus repair cases were 9,055 and 18, respectively, in 2010, which increased to 14,947 and 31 in 2017. The number of meniscus repairs increased by 65.04%. The meniscus repair ratio was 12.1% in 2010, which increased to 16.8% in 2017. The highest peak was noted for patients who underwent meniscus surgeries in their 50s and 60s. Meniscectomy was performed more frequently in women (57%) than in men (43%), whereas repair was performed more frequently in men (54%) than in women (46%) over the study period. Conclusion The total number and incidence of meniscus surgeries increased from 2010 to 2017; the number and incidence of meniscus repair procedures increased more rapidly than those of meniscectomy, with the peak treatment age for both surgeries being in the 50s and 60s. The current study will contribute to understanding the epidemiology of meniscus surgery, its prevention, and cost-saving measures in Korea.

“…Issues related to distal tibial fixation, such as elongation and abrasion of sutures, can be dismissed, excluding the possibility of the “bungee effect”. Also, the knotless mechanism provides a lower rate of suture slippage (loss of loop security), 16 and more reproducible tension.…”

“…The repair methods for MMRTs include two techniques: one uses a suture anchor (suture anchor repair), and the other uses a transosseous tunnel (transtibial pull-out repair). Suture anchor repair is performed by placing the suture anchor on the region of an MMRT above the posterior tibial plateau [ 36 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 ]. This method has the advantage of reducing the risk of the bungee effect, micromotion between the meniscus-suture complex, and abrasion of the suture material, which may be found in long meniscus-suture constructs, resulting from transtibial pull-out repair [ 81 , 82 ].…”

Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tear: How Far Have We Come and What Remains?

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMRTs), defined as tears or avulsions that occur within 1 cm of the tibial attachment of the medial meniscus posterior root, lead to biomechanically detrimental knee conditions by creating a functionally meniscal-deficient status. Given their biomechanical significance, MMRTs have recently been gaining increasing interest. Accordingly, numerous studies have been conducted on the anatomy, biomechanics, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of MMRTs, and extensive knowledge has been accumulated. Although a consensus has not yet been reached on several issues, such as surgical indications, surgical techniques, and rehabilitation protocols, this article aimed to comprehensively review the current knowledge on MMRTs and to introduce the author’s treatment strategies.
