Incidence and Treatment Strategy of Lateral Meniscus Posterior Root Tears and Ramp Lesions Identified During Isolated ACL Reconstructions: Report From a Nationwide Knee Ligament Register
This first nationwide registry study identified a high incidence of concomitant meniscus tears in ACLR, with incidences of LMPRTs and ramp lesions of 10.0% and 7.8%, respectively. Patients with ramp lesions were significantly younger than both those with LMPRTs and those without meniscus injuries. Treatment for LMPRTs predominantly involved transtibial sutures with cortical fixation, while treatment for ramp lesions was divided between all-inside suturing techniques and other suturing methods (including repairs through a posteromedial portal).
