The preoperative flexion tear gap affects postoperative meniscus stability after pullout repair for medial meniscus posterior root tear

Abstract Background We investigated whether the preoperative flexion tear gap (FTG) observed in open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) affects meniscus stability after medial meniscus (MM) posterior root (MMPR) repairs. Furthermore, time-correlated MRI findings from MMPR tear occurrence were evaluate...
