Outcomes of Meniscus Root Repair Using a Transtibial Pullout Technique
Rochester, MN
The results of this study will optimize the care for patients with a meniscus root tear. Surgeons will be able to determine if MRR (meniscus root repair) with transtibial pullout technique is an effective treatment and will identify potential risk factors for poor clinical outcomes. In addition, investigators will determine if MRR is successful in delaying the radiographic progression of arthritis in the involved compartment.

SoftStitch™ Comparative Analysis of Patient Reported Outcome Measures for All-Inside Meniscal Repair
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of SoftStitch™ for All-Inside Meniscal Repair of longitudinal tears on the posterior horn, and to observe improvement for ePROM and functional assessments of the knee at 24 months follow-up when compared to baseline.
The secondary objective is to assess complications related to SoftStitch™, retears and repeated surgery. Structural healing of the meniscus will be evaluated at 6 months with MRI. Also, the safety profile of SoftStitch™ for All-Inside Meniscal Repair will be observed.

Circumferential Compression STITCH Repairs of Complex and Horizontal Cleavage Meniscal Tears
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to understand the benefits and safety of the NOVOSTITCH PRO Meniscal Repair (NOVOSTITCH PRO) system. The meniscus is a tissue in the knee joint. The NOVOSTITCH PRO is used during surgery to fix meniscus tears in the knee. It is unknown whether fixing a meniscus tear is better than the approach of removing the tear. Data will be collected on participants prior to surgery, at surgery, and for 2 years after surgery.

A Study to Compare Marrow Venting Procedure Versus PRP
Rochester, MN
The primary objective of this study is to compare post-operative patient reported outcome measures of Bone Marrow Venting Procedure (BMVP) versus Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) augmented meniscal repair.
The secondary objective is to compare outcomes of BMVP versus PRP as related to meniscal repair failure.
