Association between Meniscal Injuries at the Time of an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Lower Return-to-Sport Rates: An Analysis at 5 Years of Follow-up of the MERIscience Cohort
MM tears encountered at the time of ACLR led to a lower Tegner score and a lower RTS rate. Patients undergoing MM repair had higher postoperative activity levels than those undergoing meniscectomy. These findings highlight the importance of repairing MM tears whenever possible at the time of ACLR.
