Arthroscopic incidence of lateral meniscal root avulsion in patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury

ConclusionLMRA is a relatively common injury associated with both acute and chronic ACL tears. A relatively high incidence in cases of chronic ACL insufficiency suggests that LMRAs do not heal spontaneously or that they may appear with time, even when absent at the time of the initial injury.Level of evidenceLevel III, cross-sectional study.
