This study reviews various aspects of knee OA, including its global prevalence, economic impact, and current treatment strategies. It explores the role of mechanical loading pathways in the disease's onset, highlighting the importance of considering not only the knee but the entire kinetic chain in diagnosis and treatment. Also, it discusses knee anatomy and biomechanics during functional activities, emphasizing the role of neuromuscular control and the influence of proximal and distal joints on knee health. Current treatments focus mainly on symptom management, with limited success in disease prevention and curative interventions. This review underlines the importance of understanding the biomechanical risk factors contributing to knee OA and the necessity of individualized interventions based on biokinetic profile analysis. Knee OA management and prevention necessitate a paradigm shift from viewing it as a localized knee disease to recognizing related mechanical overloads of the human complex motion system. Identifying individual inductive elements is paramount for effective knee OA prevention, management, and rehabilitation.

The incidence and prevalence of medial meniscus ramp tears has been increasing in the recent literature due to the increased understanding of the anatomy and diagnosis of these tears. When a patient presents with an ACL tear, a medial meniscus ramp tear should be suspected if the patient has a grade 3+ Lachman or pivot-shift exam, a vertical line of increased signal intensity in the posterior capsule or peripheral meniscus on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or posteromedial tibial plateau bone bruising on MRI. When a ramp tear is suspected, proper arthroscopic probing, including utilizing the transnotch view (or potentially an accessory posteromedial portal) or performing a medial collateral ligament trephination should be considered as part of the diagnostic workup. Once a tear is identified, a surgical repair depends on the location and stability of the tear and the surgeon's preference. The most frequently utilized techniques include the all-inside device, an all-inside suture hook, and an inside-out repair. Studies reporting on clinical outcomes for patients with ramp tears generally report no difference in outcomes compared to isolated ACL reconstruction patients. No consensus has been made on the best repair technique; however, it is generally accepted that repair is superior to leaving a ramp tear in situ as ramp tears have the potential to progress into bucket-handle tears.
