Video Summary

The webinar on advanced municipal repair solutions and meniscal preservation in 2025 featured several experts discussing a wide range of techniques and biological augmentations for meniscal repair. Key presentations included:<br /><br />1. <strong>Meniscal Ramp Lesions</strong>: Dr. Malapati highlighted the importance of recognizing and repairing meniscal ramp lesions associated with ACL tears. Techniques such as all-inside repair and using suture hooks were discussed. MRI is useful for planning repairs, and proactive surgical strategies are crucial.<br /><br />2. <strong>Medial Meniscus Root Tears and Lamorts</strong>: Dr. Armando Vidal distinguished between medial and lateral meniscus root tears. He emphasized repair, especially for medial tears due to their aggressive nature and poor nonoperative outcomes. For lateral meniscus lesions, particularly Lamorts, repair is varied, with some studies showing no difference between treated and non-treated outcomes.<br /><br />3. <strong>All-Inside vs. Inside-Out Repairs</strong>: Dr. Dave Bernholt discussed the similarities in outcomes between all-inside and inside-out repairs for bucket handle tears, suggesting that both techniques can be effective. The critical factor is ensuring adequate fixation points.<br /><br />4. <strong>Radial Tears</strong>: Dr. Shannon Moskovsky highlighted the biomechanical impact of radial tears and recommended surgical repair if feasible, noting that repair techniques vary and should be robust to ensure good outcomes.<br /><br />5. <strong>Meniscal Allograft Transplantation (MAT)</strong>: Dr. Seth Sherman discussed the complexities and evolving indications for MAT. MAT is not universally favored for asymptomatic patients due to mixed long-term outcomes.<br /><br />6. <strong>Biologic Augmentation</strong>: Dr. Arvind Thivaram explored various biologic options, such as fibrin clot and PRP, to enhance healing in isolated meniscus repairs, noting PRP’s potential benefits in increases survival and healing.<br /><br />Panel discussions further explored rehabilitation protocols, challenges with specific tear patterns, and innovative approaches to improve surgical outcomes and mitigate risks associated with meniscal repairs.<br /><br />This comprehensive webinar aimed to provide insights into both the current best practices and future directions in the field of meniscal repair.
