Transtibial pullout repair of medial meniscus posterior root tears: effects on the meniscus healing score and ICRS grade among patients with mild osteoarthritis of the knee

Purpose To assess the effects of transtibial pullout repair for medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) among patients with early osteoarthritis of the knee as measured by the meniscus healing score and to determine whether the meniscus healing score correlates with the International Cartilage...

Summary:Purpose To assess the effects of transtibial pullout repair for medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) among patients with early osteoarthritis of the knee as measured by the meniscus healing score and to determine whether the meniscus healing score correlates with the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) grade progression. Methods Forty-seven patients with mild osteoarthritic knees (Kellgren–Lawrence grade ≤ 2 and varus alignment
