# Arthroscopic Medial Meniscal Posterior Root Reconstruction Using Gracilis Autograft via the Anterior-Medial Collateral Ligament Portal to Prevent Meniscal Tissue Cut-Through

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a new arthroscopic technique for reconstructing the medial meniscal posterior root to avoid damaging existing meniscal tissue.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is an arthroscopic reconstruction technique using a gracilis autograft through a specific portal to prevent meniscal cut-through.

## Key findings

- The technique minimizes further meniscal tissue injury during reconstruction.
- It offers a potential alternative to improve healing outcomes for meniscal root tears.

## Abstract

Meniscal root repair is the treatment of choice for reparable meniscal root tears; however, the complete healing rate is less than 60%. To improve healing outcomes, meniscal root reconstruction may serve as a viable alternative. We present an arthroscopic reconstructive technique using a gracilis graft through the anterior-medial collateral ligament portal. This approach offers the advantage of minimizing further meniscal tissue injury or cut-through.
