Abstract
Meniscal tears are more commonly reported in active-duty US military service members than in civilian patient populations. This article presents an overview of meniscal tears as they pertain to the active-duty military population, beginning with the anatomy and biomechanics of the meniscus, types of meniscal tears, and indications for repair. The commonly used techniques for meniscal repair and the success rates and complication of each technique are discussed. The most commonly used technique by the senior author is described, as well as the role for meniscal transplant for treating postmeniscectomy patients in the active-duty military population.
