Abstract
The variability of symptoms and the fact that they are not easily recognized in imaging studies make the diagnosis and treatment of posterior meniscal roots lesions a challenging task to the orthopedist. In recent years, a more precise understanding of the anatomy and biomechanical impair of the knee joint in these cases has enabled great advances in therapeutic approaches. Wellâdocumented studies have shown that the repair of these lesions presents superior functional and clinical improvement when compared with meniscectomy. However, the progression of degenerative joint changes in the longâterm still exhibits conflicting results.
