Single High Posterolateral Portal Suture Anchor Repair for Lateral Meniscal Root Tears in Adolescents.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Meniscal root tears, especially in the posterior root of the lateral meniscus, are critical injuries that can lead to altered knee mechanics and early-onset osteoarthritis if left untreated. In adolescents, these injuries present additional challenges due to the risk of growth plate disturbances associated with traditional repair techniques. This Technical Note describes a refined arthroscopic technique for lateral meniscal root repair in adolescents, utilizing a single high posterolateral portal for suture anchor placement. The technique emphasizes safety by using the fibular head as an external landmark to avoid peroneal nerve injury and ensures precise anatomic placement of the suture anchor without the need for a transosseous tibial tunnel. We detail the procedural steps, including portal creation, anchor insertion, and postoperative care, highlighting the advantages of this approach, such as reduced risk of physeal injury and simplified surgical execution. This technique provides a promising and safer alternative for the management of lateral meniscal root tears in the adolescent population.
