Insufficient restoration of meniscal extrusion by transtibial pullout repair for medial meniscus posterior root tears

ConclusionSurgery did not reduce the extrusion in the no weight-bearing and weight-bearing positions at knee extension, and these values increased in the postoperative period. In addition, while the surgery reduced the extrusion in the knee flexion position, the restoration achieved by the surgery was not sustained in the long term.Level of evidence: Level IV.
