  • Title: Meniscal repair techniques required for the surgeon performing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
    Author: Lembach M, Johnson DL.
    Journal: Orthopedics; 2014 Sep; 37(9):617-21. PubMed ID: 25198352.
    Abstract:
    Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are a common injury treated surgically by orthopedic specialists. There is a high incidence of concurrent meniscal injury that must be recognized and appropriately treated by the surgeon. The surgeon must be prepared to address the full spectrum of meniscal injuries with complex meniscal repair techniques when performing ACL reconstruction to decrease the likelihood of reoperation or postoperative symptoms for the patient.
