Summary

This study looks at a new way to fix a specific type of knee tear called a meniscal root tear. The surgery stitches the torn part of the meniscus to a nearby ligament to help the knee work better and prevent future arthritis. About 59 people who have had this surgery will be followed for 2 years with MRI and ultrasound scans to see how well the tear heals.
