The results of meniscal root repair (MRR) have shown that this repair is the best treatment option in the presence of an acute situation with no degenerative changes. The meniscal root could be restored, in addition to the meniscus's hoop stress function, which is a key component in preventing osteoarthritis progression in the future. Several MRR techniques have been developed, and both improved biomechanics and a lower incidence of failure repair are correlated with suture anchor techniques. Suture anchor techniques also have many ways in which they can be adapted until the disadvantages are eliminated, such as the risk of a major neurovascular problem in the posterior compartment and the difficulty of preparing the base of the meniscal footprint because visualization in the medial compartment of the knee is limited. My MRR technique can improve knee function and allow a return to normal activities without the development of osteoarthritis by relying on the concepts of biomechanics and the regeneration process.
