Posteriorly, it is attached to popliteus tendon. Its anterior attachment merges with the insertion of the ACL. Anteriorly, the two menisci are connected by transverse ligament in front of ACL.<\/p><h2><strong>Functions<\/strong><\/h2><ol><li><strong>Load distribution: <\/strong>The meniscus functions to optimize force transmission across the knee. It does this by increasing congruency which increases contact area and leads to even distribution of weight load.<\/li><li><strong>Shock-absorption: <\/strong>The meniscus is more elastic than articular cartilage, this property helps in absorption of shock transmits 50% weight-bearing load in extension, 85% in flexion.<\/li><li><strong>Stability: <\/strong>The meniscus increases depth of tibial articular surface and acts as secondary stabilizer. Posterior horn of medial meniscus is the main secondary stabilizer to anterior translation of tibia. It is very important particularly after ACL tear as it is the only primary stabilizers in the ACL-deficient knee.<\/li><\/ol><h2><strong>Etiology<\/strong><\/h2><p>Meniscal tears are common sports-related injuries in young athletes and can also present as a degenerative condition in older patients.<\/p><p>Medial meniscal tears are more common than lateral tears. The exception is in the presence of an acute ACL tear, lateral tears are more common.<\/p><p>Degenerative tears which are common in older patients usually occur in the posterior horn of medial meniscus<\/p><p>The most common mechanism is rotatory force at the knee in either extended or flexed position when it is bearing weight.<\/p><p>The second common mechanism is deceleration or acceleration with direction change as in a cutting motion while running.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2279 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mensicus-tear-vs-healthy-meniscus-1.jpeg\" alt=\"mensicus tear vs healthy meniscus\" width=\"551\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mensicus-tear-vs-healthy-meniscus-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mensicus-tear-vs-healthy-meniscus-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mensicus-tear-vs-healthy-meniscus-1-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mensicus-tear-vs-healthy-meniscus-1-24x14.jpeg 24w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mensicus-tear-vs-healthy-meniscus-1-36x20.jpeg 36w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mensicus-tear-vs-healthy-meniscus-1-48x27.jpeg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 551px) 100vw, 551px\" \/><\/p><h2><strong>Zones of Meniscus<\/strong><\/h2><ol><li>red zone (outer third, vascularized) \u2013 has good healing potential<\/li><li>red-white zone (middle third)\u2013moderate healing potential<\/li><li>white zone (inner third, avascular) \u2013 Poor healing potential<\/li><\/ol><p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"270\" class=\"wp-image-2280 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/arthroscopic-meniscus-tear-repair-surgery-or-arthro-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Arthroscopic Meniscus Tear Repair Surgery | Arthroscopic Surgeon in Mumbai | Dr. Amyn Rajani\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/arthroscopic-meniscus-tear-repair-surgery-or-arthro-1.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/arthroscopic-meniscus-tear-repair-surgery-or-arthro-1-300x162.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/arthroscopic-meniscus-tear-repair-surgery-or-arthro-1-24x13.jpeg 24w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/arthroscopic-meniscus-tear-repair-surgery-or-arthro-1-36x19.jpeg 36w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/arthroscopic-meniscus-tear-repair-surgery-or-arthro-1-48x26.jpeg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p><h2><strong>Types of meniscal tear<\/strong><\/h2><ol><li>vertical\/longitudinal tear \u2013 most common type, especially seen with <a href=\"https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/acl-injury-in-adults\/\">ACL tears<\/a>.<\/li><li>bucket handle tear &#8211;

The foot and leg are then pulled upward to distract the joint and rotated to place rotational strain on the ligaments; when ligaments have been torn, this part of the test usually is painful. Next, with the knee in the same position, the foot and leg are pressed downward and rotated as the joint is slowly flexed and extended; when a meniscus has been torn, popping and pain localized to the joint line may be noted. Although the McMurray, Apley, and other tests cannot be considered diagnostic, they are useful enough to be included in the routine examination of the knee.<\/p><p>The examiner applies distraction force to the leg to separate the tibia and femur and moves it back and forth. If the capsule or ligaments are injured pain will occur. This test distinguishes if the pain in knee is coming from meniscus injury or extra-articular structures. Torn meniscus pain will be relieved in distraction test. Next, the examiner applies compression and repeats the maneuver if the pain is due to meniscus tear, then distraction test will be negative while pain will occur on compression test.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2282\" src=\"https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-6.jpeg\" width=\"458\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-6.jpeg 1176w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-6-300x189.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-6-1024x646.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-6-768x485.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-6-24x15.jpeg 24w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-6-36x23.jpeg 36w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-6-48x30.jpeg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2283\" src=\"https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-7.jpeg\" width=\"461\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-7.jpeg 1195w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-7-300x203.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-7-1024x692.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-7-768x519.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-7-24x16.jpeg 24w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-7-36x24.jpeg 36w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-7-48x32.jpeg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/p><p><strong>The McMurray test <\/strong><\/p><p>With the patient supine and the knee acutely and forcibly flexed, the examiner can check the medial meniscus by palpating the posteromedial margin of the joint with one hand while grasping the foot with the other hand. Keeping the knee completely flexed, the leg is externally rotated as far as possible and then the knee is slowly extended. As the femur passes over a tear in the meniscus, a click may be heard or felt.<\/p><p>The lateral meniscus is checked by palpating the posterolateral margin of the joint, internally rotating the leg as far as possible, and slowly extending the knee while listening and feeling for a click.<\/p><p>A click produced by the McMurray test usually is caused by a posterior peripheral tear of the meniscus and occurs between complete flexion of the knee and 90 degrees. Popping, which occurs with greater degrees of extension when it is definitely localized to the joint line, suggests a tear of the middle and anterior portions of the meniscus. The position of the knee when the click occurs thus may help locate the lesion.<\/p><p>A click localized to the joint line is additional evidence that the meniscus is torn; a negative result of the McMurray test does not rule out a tear.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2284\" src=\"https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-8.png\" width=\"314\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-8.png 421w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-8-260x300.png 260w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-8-21x24.png 21w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-8-31x36.png 31w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-8-42x48.png 42w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 314px) 100vw, 314px\" \/><\/p><p><strong>Squat test \u2013 <\/strong><\/p><p>Consists of several repetitions of a full squat with the feet and legs alternately, fully internally and externally rotated as the squat is performed.

Best candidate for repair is a tear with the following characteristics:<\/p><ul><li>peripheral tears in the red zone (vascularized region)<\/li><li>vertical and longitudinal meniscal tear heal better than radial, horizontal or degenerative tear<\/li><li>root tear<\/li><li>Bucket handle meniscus tear<\/li><\/ul><p>Bucket handle meniscal tears can be diagnosed on MRI as a double PCL sign on sagittal imaging. These should be repaired in order to preserve meniscal biomechanics and protect from future chondral injury. Following reduction of the meniscal tear, one of a variety of fixation techniques should be used to secure the large flap of the meniscus. The various methods include inside-out (gold standard), outside-in, and all inside techniques. Recent studies have shown the three techniques to lead to equivalent outcomes.<\/p><p>At present, there are three main techniques for meniscal repair: inside-out, outside-in, all-inside.<\/p><p>Among them the strongest repair has been accepted as the inside-out technique. In this technique, the tear is fixed by placement and fixation of the passing sutures from the intra-articular region with the use of special cannula to a safe extracapsular area over the capsule with a posterolateral or posteromedial incision.<\/p><p>Outside-in technique is less frequently used, passing sutures were passed through the previously passed two spinal needles from the meniscal rim to the meniscal body across the meniscal tear. The two ends of the passing sutures were tied onto the capsule, under direct vision.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2291\" src=\"https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-14.jpeg\" width=\"454\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-14.jpeg 658w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-14-300x172.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-14-24x14.jpeg 24w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-14-36x21.jpeg 36w, https:\/\/thecruciates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-2276-14-48x28.jpeg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" \/><\/p><p>All inside meniscal repair is latest and trending technique, it uses special preloaded sutures and does not require additional posterolateral or posteromedial incision.
