AB  - Combined injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus is a common sports-related injury. A frequent outcome of this injury is posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), a devastating condition for young patients [Smith JP III et al. Am J Sports Med 2001]. Over the past 3 decades, treatment of this type of injury has focused on meniscus preservation to improve outcomes and possibly prevent PTOA [Stein T et al. Am J Sports Med 2010].
