Meniscal Root Repair: Surgical Technique

I will review the specific surgical steps necessary to perform a meniscal root repair in the knee. I'll also go over the specifics of the anatomy of the meniscus and how a meniscal root repair differs from a common meniscal tear.

What's the recovery time on this surgery ? Weight bearing, physical therapy etc

WHy don't you stitch the 2 ends together in addition to anchoring the loose end ?

I’m crossing my fingers that I can have a repair rather than meniscotomy
