RESUMEN
Las lesiones de la raíz meniscal se definen como desgarros radiales ubicados dentro del centímetro de la inserción del menisco, o como una avulsión de la raíz ósea. Esta lesión es biomecánicamente comparable a una meniscectomía total, lo que lleva a una disminución del área de contacto tibiofemoral y un aumento perjudicial de las cargas para el cartílago articular y, en última instancia, conducen al desarrollo de una artrosis precoz.La reparación quirúrgica es el tratamiento de elección en pacientes sin artrosis significativa (grados 3 o 4 de Outerbridge). Las reparaciones de raíz mejoran los resultados clínicos, disminuyen la extrusión meniscal y enlentecen la aparición de cambios degenerativos. Aquí describimos la anatomía, biomecánica, evaluación clínica, métodos de tratamiento y resultados para los desgarros de las raíces meniscales posteriores. Nivel de Evidencia IV
ABSTRACT
Meniscal root tears either are defined as an avulsion of the insertion of the meniscus attachment or complete radial tears that are located within 1 cm of the meniscus insertion. Untreated meniscal root tears have been reported to result in altered joint biomechanics and accelerated articular cartilage degeneration. In this regard, the "recently" recognized pathology of meniscal root tears have been reported to precipitously worsen articular cartilage degeneration, cause painful bone edema, and lead to progressive osteoarthritis if left untreated.Meniscal root repair has been demonstrated to have high satisfaction rates and superior outcomes than arthroscopic meniscectomy for root tears. Early referral of these patients for surgery had been demonstrated to significantly decrease the progression of knee osteoarthritis and the requirement for a TKA at mid-term follow-up.
