Ramp Lesions of the Posterior Segment of the Medial Meniscus: What Is Repaired? A Qualitative Histological Study of the Meniscocapsular and Meniscotibial Attachments

Abstract: Background Lesions of the posterior segment of the medial meniscus are the most common intraarticular lesions associated with ACL injuries. Ramp lesions are tears in the peripheral attachment of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. Such injuries are difficult to detect on preoperative MRI. Arthroscopically, the prevalence of these lesions can reach 24%. Anatomical descriptions of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus are becoming clearer, however, histological descriptions are lacking, es… Show more

“…Attention focused on ramp lesions of the medial meniscus has dramatically increased in the past decade [5, 10, 15, 18, 20]. The epidemiological characteristics of ramp lesions and short‐term to mid‐term clinical outcomes of ramp lesion repair have been investigated by previous studies [6, 18].…”

“…Di Francia et al 15 recently described a direct posterior approach via the popliteal fossa, identifying, isolating and sectioning the ischiotibial and gastrocnemius muscles, revealing the posterior capsula of the knee, which was opened at its most proximal part, allowing access to the posterior segment of the medial meniscus. Histological analysis found no ligament structure corresponding to the MTL.…”

“…Recentemente, Di Francia et al 15 descreveram uma abordagem posterior direta pela fossa poplítea, identificando, isolando e seccionando os músculos isquiotibiais e gastrocnêmios. Isso revelou a cápsula posterior do joelho, que foi aberta em sua porção mais proximal, permitindo o acesso ao segmento posterior do menisco medial.…”
