- I will review the specific surgical steps necessary to perform a meniscal root repair in the knee. I'll also go over the specifics of the anatomy of the meniscus and how a meniscal root repair differs from a common meniscal tear.

This was the simplest yet. Thank you.
Thank you! I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE PROCEDURE.
I have a 4mm posterior root horn tear on medial meniscus
WHy don't you stitch the 2 ends together in addition to anchoring the loose end ?
What's the recovery time on this surgery ? Weight bearing, physical therapy etc
9 to 12 months. First 6 weeks no weight bearing and isolating exercises. First 4 months no leg press. 9 months no side jumps etc. It’s likely 12 months before you can start doing almost everything on competition level. I had this with an acl reconstruction. It took me longer to recover.
I’m crossing my fingers that I can have a repair rather than meniscotomy
