Partial weight-bearing and range of motion limitation significantly reduce the loads at medial meniscus posterior root repair sutures in a cadaveric biomechanical model

CONCLUSION: Surgical treatment of MMPRA allows restoration of physiological knee joint biomechanics. Crutch-assisted movements reduce the loading of the repair suture, thus likewise the risk for failure. From a biomechanical point of view, crutch-assisted movements are recommended for the early rehabilitation phase after MMPRA …
