Single‐Stage Repair of Complex Anterolateral Radial and Posterior Root Tears of the Lateral Meniscus, With a Concomitant Multiligament Knee Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament, Medial Collateral Ligament, Posterior Oblique Ligament, and Anterolateral Ligament in a Young Athlete

Key Points

• The study aims to optimize outcomes for young athletes with complex anterolateral radial and posterior root tears of the lateral meniscus through single-stage repair.
• Performed single-stage repair of lateral meniscus tears and multiligament reconstruction
• Included repairs of anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament, posterior oblique ligament, and anterolateral ligament
• Described outcomes related to tibiofemoral mechanics
• Demonstrated significant restoration of tibiofemoral mechanics post-repair
• Reported improved knee function scores in young athletes after surgery
• Indicated lower rates of subsequent knee instability or injury in the follow-up period
