RESUMO
Ramp lesions of the medial meniscus are underdiagnosed because of difficulty in visualizing via magnetic resonance imaging and during arthroscopy. They most often occur simultaneously with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury but may also be associated with posterior plateau contusions, steeper medial tibial plateau slope, and excess varus alignment. Upwards of 24% of ACL reconstructions have concomitant ramp lesions. Failure to repair the ramp lesion is associated with increased rotational laxity, tibial translocation, persistent pivot shift, and poorer outcomes after ACL reconstruction. The purpose of this article is to describe an all-suture anchor-based repair of a meniscal ramp lesion, which confers several advantages over traditional repair techniques.
