Outcomes after Surgical Repair of Medial Meniscal Root Tears: A Review
Abstract At the present time, there is a paucity of literature regarding medial meniscal posterior root repair and outcomes. This review seeks to examine the currently available data to further elucidate the clinical risks and benefits and any associated risks of medial meniscal posterior root repai...
