Transtibial Repair of Lateral Meniscus Posterior Root Tears Improves Contact Biomechanics in Pediatric Cadavers.

While differences in contact pressures between meniscus states did not reach statistical significance at any degree of flexion, elevated means in the root tear state relative to the intact state at 30° and 60° reflect the destabilizing kinematic consequences of posterolateral root tears reported in adult patients. 6 , 7 , 8 At 60°, improvement in peak pressures were modest after root repair.
