All-Inside Repair for Radial Tear at the Posterior Horn of the Lateral Meniscus: A Figure-8 Suture Technique

Abstract

Arthroscopic suture repair for a radial tear at the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus poses a technical procedure for surgeons. We describe an all-inside repair technique using all-inside meniscal repair devices without adding any accessory portals. This simple technique provides precise reduction and stabilization of the meniscus by pinching 2 all-inside vertical sutures consecutively across the tear site.
