Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
The significance of meniscus root tears has become increasingly recognized in the literature. Meniscus root tears result in decreased knee stability, alterations in knee kinematics, and altered contact pressures in the knee. Root tears have been described to be functionally equivalent to complete meniscectomy and have been shown to lead to accelerated degeneration of the articular cartilage and arthritis development. Meniscus root tears can be treated nonoperatively, or with repair, with repairs being preferred in knees with intact cartilage. Root repairs have also been shown to have favorable results compared to nonoperative and partial meniscectomy treatments, in select patients. The purpose of this chapter is to describe meniscus root tears, consequences of tears, and treatment of root tears.
