Update Wurzel- und Rampenläsionen

Was muss nun wie adressiert werden?

Meniskusverletzungen zählen zu den Hauptgründen der orthopädischen Konsultation [39]. Neben den am häufigsten auftretenden Längs- und Horizontalrissen handelt es sich bei Wurzel- und Rampenläsionen um spezielle Entitäten, welche sich in der Diagnostik, klinischen Auswirkung und auch der Therapie von herkömmlichen Meniskusrissen abheben [5, 18, 34, 37, 47]. Da es sich bei Wurzel- und Rampenläsionen um seltenere (aus Sicht der Autoren jedoch eher seltener geglaubte) und zugleich schwieriger zu behandelnde Verletzungsmuster handelt, wird ihnen oft weniger Beachtung geschenkt, was jedoch relevante klinische Auswirkungen nach sich zieht.
