Abstract Purpose Transtibial repair of a medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) can improve clinical outcomes, although meniscal extrusion remains. However, few studies have investigated the volume of meniscal extrusion. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of transtibial repair in reducing the volume using three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging, at 10° and 90° knee flexion. Methods Twenty patients with MMPRTs and 16 volunteers with normal knees participated. The 3D models of meniscus were constructed using SYNAPSE V INCENT®. The meniscal extrusion and its volume were measured at 10° and 90° knee flexion. Differences between the pre- and postoperative examinations were assessed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The postoperative parameters were compared to those in patients with normal knees. Results There were no significant pre- and postoperative differences in any parameter at 10° knee flexion. At 90° knee flexion, the posterior extrusion and its meniscal volume were decreased significantly after transtibial repair (p
