Lesiones de la raíz posterior de los meniscos

The meniscal roots are essential for their proper functioning. They are the meniscal anchorage point into the tibial plateau maintaining their normal function. Diagnosis of these lesions requires a high degree of suspicion to prevent early development of chondral injuries. Surgical root repair should be attempted, for short-term follow-up has evidenced good outcomes. Meniscal transplantation is reserved for salvage situations when a meniscus cannot be repaired.
