Approaching ramp lesions from the different world of posterior knee compartment: A review of evidence with a proposal of a new classification and treatment

Ramp lesions (RLs) are peripheral lesions that occur in the posterior part of the medial meniscus or where it attaches to the joint capsule. The classification of the medial meniscus RLs has been the focus of numerous studies and publications. This review provides an overview of RL's current cl...

Zusammenfassung:Ramp lesions (RLs) are peripheral lesions that occur in the posterior part of the medial meniscus or where it attaches to the joint capsule. The classification of the medial meniscus RLs has been the focus of numerous studies and publications. This review provides an overview of RL's current classification and treatment options in anterior cruciate ligament deficient knees. The study also aims to present a more practical classification system for RLs to assist in treatment decision‐making. For the first time, we also presented a new surgical treatment for incomplete inferior and double‐complete RL based on the posterior knee arthroscopy that provides direct access to the posterior meniscal borders, enabling effective treatment and stronger biomechanical repair. Level of Evidence Level V.
