  1. Data of age, height, body weight, body mass index, femorotibial angle, and durations are displayed as a mean ± standard deviation. MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; MMPRT, medial meniscus posterior root tear; MM, medial meniscus. Statistical differences in age, height, body weight, body mass index, femorotibial angle, and durations between two groups were analyzed using a Mann–Whitney U test. aFisher’s exact test
