Objective: This work aimed to compare the clinical outcomes following medial meniscus posterior root repairs using different suture configuration repair techniques. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted by querying EMBASE, PubMed, and Scopus computerized databases from databases inception through November 2022, in accordance with the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Level of evidence I, II, or III studies that reported clinical outcomes undergoing transtibial pullout repair for MMPR tears were included (simple stitch, all-inside-dependent modified Mason-Allen, modified reverse Mason-Allen, and cinch-loop). Methodological quality assessment of the included studies was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the National Institute of Health Quality Assessment. Results: Twelve studies, including 495 patients, met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The reported mean postoperative Lysholm score among simple stitch patients ranged from 73.4 to 92.5, vs. 84.7 to 85.9 in all-inside-dependent modified Mason-Allen patients, 71.5-87.6 in modified reverse Mason-Allen patients, and 81.8-88.8 in cinch-loop patients. The reported mean improvement in IKDC score among simple stitch patients ranged between 59.2 and 91.8, vs. 63.2 and 65.3 in all-inside-dependent modified Mason-Allen patients, 55.6-78.4 in modified reverse Mason-Allen patients, and 76.7 in cinch-loop patients. Conclusions: Patients undergoing simple stitch, all-inside-dependent modified Mason-Allen, modified reverse Mason-Allen, and cinch-loop transtibial pullout repair for MMPR tears all reported improvement in Lysholm and IKDC scores. Future prospective studies evaluating postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing MMPR repair based on suture configuration repair techniques are warranted to better determine optimal transtibial pullout repair treatment.
