Abstract:
A tear of the posterior medial meniscus root (PMMR) is increasingly recognized as a serious knee joint injury. Several suture techniques for arthroscopic transtibial pull-out repair have been described; however, only limited data about the biomechanical properties of these techniques are currently available.There are significant differences between the tested suture techniques, with more complex suture configurations providing superior biomechanical properties.Controlled laboratory study.A tota...     »
