Meniscal ramp lesions are common but frequently underrecognized in the ACL-injured
knee. It is important ...

For that reason, a systematic exploration of the posteromedial compartment is
advocated in all ACL-injured knees. Failure to recognize and repair ramp lesions is
associated with persistent anterior and rotational knee laxity, suggesting it makes
part of a posteromedial instability, in the setting of an ACL tear. Concomitant suture
repair of these lesions, via a posteromedial portal, can restore normal biomechanics
and is associated with excellent clinical outcomes.
