Lateral meniscus posterior root tear contributes to anterolateral rotational instability and meniscus extrusion in anterior cruciate ligament-injured patients

ConclusionsIn ACL-injured patients, the LMPRT was associated with ALRI as well as with meniscus extrusion. The coronal view of MRI was useful in identifying the LMPRT, although its sensitivity was not high. Therefore, surgeons should prepare to repair PRTs at the time of ACL reconstruction regardless of MRI findings, and they should make every effort to repair the LMPRT.Level of evidenceIII.
