      Meniscal root tears (MRTs) are defined as radial tears within 1 cm of the meniscal root insertion, or an avulsion of the insertion of the meniscus. These injuries change joint loading due to failure of the meniscus to ...
    • Posterior Tibial Slope and Risk of Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
