Abstract

Abstract : Case: This case report describes the clinical outcomes for 2 patients who underwent a primary or revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with a combined inside-out and transtibial pullout repair for a medial meniscal ramp lesion (MMRL) and a lateral meniscus root tear (LMRT), respectively. Promising short-term outcomes were seen at the one-year follow-up for both patients. Conclusions: Utilization of these repair techniques can successfully treat a combined MMRL and LMRT injury at the time of primary or revision ACL reconstruction.
