(Fig 1-B.41) Type 5 Ramp Lesion https://youtu.be/kYOVoRk6YvM https://youtu.be/nKQsItyKAtM Type 5 Ramp Lesion involves two separate tears within the red-red zone of the meniscus. Similar to the 4A subtype, the meniscocapsular and meniscotibial ligaments remain intact. There are two parallel linear areas with high T2 fluid intensity signal, extending from the superior to the inferior articular surface within the red-red zone of .. 2024. 4. 7.
(Fig 1-E.23) Posterior root tear Of Meniscus Allograft Transplantation https://youtu.be/0U6wcsVeS_M https://youtu.be/SXRAadVysHc 📌 Understanding the causes of graft failure is crucial for improving meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) outcomes.
