Advantages and Limitations of Technique
Advantages | Limitations |
---|---|
• Meniscus extrusion is reduced by the centralization technique itself regardless of pullout repair. | • The technique is technically demanding. |
• The sutures for centralization can share the load with those for the pullout repair, so the failure risk of the pullout sutures at the torn edge can be reduced. | • The centralization could present a risk to limit normal motion of the MM during knee extension-flexion. |
MM, medial meniscus.
