Accurate and timely diagnosis of lateral meniscus radial tears is crucial. These tears disrupt circumferential fibers, impairing meniscal function and joint stability. Often underdiagnosed on imaging, they require careful arthroscopic evaluation when suspected.
Tears of the posterior meniscal root significantly compromise the ability of the meniscus to convert axial loads into circumferential hoop stresses, resulting in loss of meniscal function and increased joint contact pressures
The proper management of medial meniscus ramp lesions in the context of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction depends on accurate diagnosis. It is essential to identify these lesions on preoperative MRI and to systematically complement imaging with arthroscopic exploration of the posteromedial compartment of the knee.
