First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 55 people aged 18-65 who have a meniscus root tear and undergo a specific surgical repair called transtibial pullout. Researchers will track knee function and arthritis progression over time to see if the procedure works well and what factors might lead to poor results.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
transtibial pullout technique (surgical procedure)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that meniscus root repair effectively restores knee function and slows arthritis progression.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 55 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The surgery may fail or arthritis could still worsen.
