Abstract Background Whether the medial meniscus morphology and movement occur under upright loading conditions in early knee osteoarthritis (OA) or medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the medial and anteroposterior extrusion of the medial meniscu...
