Abstract
The objective of this case study is to explore the pathology of lateral meniscus injuries associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The discussion delves into the prevalence and types of meniscal injuries, with a particular focus on lateral meniscal tear patterns in ACL-deficient knees. Additionally, it examines surgical techniques employed for meniscal repair and their integration with ACL reconstruction (ACLR), as well as the impact of these interventions on clinical outcomes, including joint biomechanics, stability, and long-term preservation of knee function.
Keywords: ACL Injuries; Osteoarthritis; Lateral Meniscus Tears.
