Repairing meniscus roots does not improve clinical outcomes

Biologic healing of meniscal tears does not correlate with clinical outcomes (Healio)
Decreased meniscus extrusions were correlated with successful healing and repair but were not associated with functional outcomes, demonstrating that biologic healing is not necessarily essential to good patient outcomes, according to a study presented at the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons Annual Meeting.
Researchers assessed nine patients who underwent meniscus root repair utilizing a pull-out technique. The follow-up period was, on average, 30 months. The researchers utilized Lysolm and WOMAC score...
