Lateral Meniscus Root Tear and Meniscus Extrusion with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear

Abstract

Prevalence of LMRTs is greater than that of MMRTs in patients with an ACL tear. LMRTs and complex and radial tears are associated with lateral meniscus extrusion; an absent MFL is more prevalent in patients with LMRTs and when the meniscus is extruded.
