Meniscus tears are common in patients with primary or revision anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Given their important mechanical role in the joint, efforts are being made to repair as much of the meniscus tear as possible. However, all-inside repair might be challenging in case of an unstable tear due to the dislocation of the meniscal flap after deploying the first anchor. Therefore, we describe the details of our technique that allows the surgeon to stabilize the meniscal tear before all-inside repair, ensuring the reduction of the tear throughout the entire procedure.

Abstract

Meniscus tears are common in patients with primary or revision anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Given their important mechanical role in the joint, efforts are being made to repair as much of the meniscus tear as possible. However, all-inside repair might be challenging in case of an unstable tear due to the dislocation of the meniscal flap after deploying the first anchor. Therefore, we describe the details of our technique that allows the surgeon to stabilize the meniscal tear before all-inside repair, ensuring the reduction of the tear throughout the entire procedure.
