Atul,
Nice illustrations. In our set-up, these are treated the same way- simple stiching.
The surgeons care more about Laprade classification for root tears.
Here is our work- these vertical-longitudinal tears are beautifully seen in axial plane of the meniscus like in surgery and one can accurately measure them- blue is tear/ pink is normal meniscus- top image 3D, bottom 2D (not well seen to be measured on 2D)- couple of examples below. We also found MRI measurements are longer than arthroscopy.
