Editorial Commentary: Early Clinical Results Are Promising for Meniscus Centralization as an Augment to Medial Meniscus Root Repair.
Arthroscopy 2023 November 20
Meniscal root tears remain a common problem, with devastating biomechanical and clinical consequences. Thankfully, numerous techniques have been developed to repair the symptomatic meniscal root tear. However, rates of conversion to arthroplasty are reported to be 21% to 33% at 10 years, and persistent extrusion of the meniscus at follow-up is a known limitation of current root repair techniques. There is also growing evidence that some medial meniscal root tears may be an effect of meniscal extrusion, rather than the cause of it. In that vein, failure to correct extrusion may be a key mechanism of clinical and radiographic failure despite successful meniscus root repair. Techniques that "centralize" the meniscus (such as centralization with anchors at the tibial rim, meniscotibial ligament repair, deep medial collateral ligament repair, or circumferential suture augmentation of the meniscus) may improve patient outcomes by better correcting meniscal extrusion. Indications could be extrusion greater than 3 mm and documented extrusion before the root tear.
