Medial Meniscal Ramp Tears in Patients With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears Undergoing Reconstruction: A Surgically Relevant Classification System Based on Tear Morphology
Previous studies have highlighted the importance of the ramp attachment for stability and the prevention of anterior cruciate ligament graft failure. Our classification system is based on a prospectively collected patient population and incorporates assessment of the tear for stability to probing, identification of the location of the tear, and a surgically relevant tear progression. With the described classification system, we hope to optimize repair techniques and improve outcomes associated with different ramp tear types.
