Popliteomeniscal fascicles tear with lateral meniscus instability: arthroscopic all-inside technique with two-year follow-up
Tears of the PMFs predispose the lateral compartment of the knee to chondral lesion, lateral meniscus instability, and progression of osteoarthritis. This study represents the largest series of all-inside repair techniques for PMF disruption. At two-year follow-up, all patients had improved clinically, without any giving way sensation during rotational movements. Most of them had returned to their pre-injury level of activity.
