Weightbearing After Medial Meniscus Root Repair: A Cadaveric Study Analyzing the Integrity of Meniscus Root Repairs Subjected to Physiological Cyclic Loading
This study suggests that MM root repairs with this technique allow unacceptable displacement under physiological loads. These results provide insight into the biomechanical performance of meniscus root repairs and underscore the importance of establishing appropriate postoperative weightbearing protocols.
