Figure 1. — Illustrations of the 4 types of posterior horn lateral meniscal oblique radial tears. The tear types were classified to include a corresponding treatment for each. The tear types were (1) partial oblique tear <10 mm from the lateral root (type 1); (2) complete oblique tear <10 mm from the root attachment, but not involving the root site (type 2); (3) incomplete oblique tear extending >10 mm from the root (type 3); and (4) complete oblique tear extending >10 mm from the root (type 4). Type 1 tears were repaired with partial meniscectomy. Type 2 tears were repaired with transtibial pullout repair. Type 3 and type 4 tears were repaired with all-inside suture repair or, rarely, with inside-out suture repair. Ant, anterior; LM, lateral meniscus; Post, posterior.
