Abstract
In view of the negative consequences of the meniscectomy of the knee joint, there is a general consensus regarding the importance of conserving the menisci, especially when the injury occurs in the peripheral vascular zone, where the chances of healing are greater. In this report, we present a simple inside-out meniscal suture device in which a braided Nylon thread is inserted using a 2-mm needle with 1 or 2 holes in the tip (to accommodate 1 or 2 threads), piercing the soft tissue to carry out either a single or double suture, depending on the size of the meniscal lesion. The advantage of this device over other methods is that it facilitates access to the joint from any location, removing the need for accessory arthroscopic portals and thus enabling the injury to be approached more easily.
