Pivot Shift Grade and Patient-Reported Outcomes After Repair of Lateral Meniscus Posterior Root Tears Combined With Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction Versus Those After Isolated ACL Reconstruction at Two-Year Follow-Up
Patients with LMPRT and ACL injuries simultaneously had higher pivot-shift grades and reported worse subjective outcomes prior to surgery compared to those with isolated ACL injuries; however, the clinical outcome of ACLR with LMPRT was not inferior to that of isolated ACLR at two years postoperatively. Following LMPRT repair, the patients were able to restore knee joint stability and showed similar recovery levels as patients with isolated ACLR for at least a short period.
