Abstract

Meniscal posterior root tears reportedly result in accelerated cartilage degeneration and spontaneous insufficiency fractures of the knee. While meniscus repair combined with open-wedge high tibial osteotomy is an optional method, the healing rate is not sufficiently high. Therefore, this Technical Note describes a technique for meniscal reconstruction combined with open-wedge high tibial osteotomy that may offer improvements in meniscal healing rates and clinical results.
