Simplified Arthroscopic Lateral Meniscal Root Repair Involving the Use of 2 Cinch-Loop Sutures.

ABSTRACT: The meniscal root attachments are critical for meniscal function by securing the menisci in place and allowing optimal shock absorption in the knee. Successful meniscal root repair has been shown to restore the knee's tibiofemoral contact pressure to the same state as an intact meniscus. Although there have been multiple different repair techniques described, there is no report in the literature regarding the use of 2 simple cinch-loop sutures for a meniscal root repair. This article presents an arthroscopic lateral meniscal root repair technique involving the use of 2 simple cinch-loop configuration sutures and tibial suture anchor fixation.

Arthroscopic Medial Meniscal Posterior Root Repair With Transtibial Luggage-Tag and Horizontal Mattress Sutures.

Project description:Medial meniscal posterior root repair techniques have shown positive yet varied results in the literature. The decision to perform repair has improved clinical outcomes in many situations, although the healing rate is approximately 64% and the repair strength is roughly one-third of the native root strength, with meniscal extrusion being common. We present a technique based on biomechanical evidence to obtain a strong anatomic posterior root repair to restore nearly normal knee mechanics, combining an increased size of footprint under the lateral aspect of the medial meniscal horn for healing and a luggage-tag suture with a posteriorly placed horizontal mattress suture. The horizontal mattress suture is passed to capture the circumferential fibers of the meniscus and the luggage-tag suture is passed to capture the radial fibers of the meniscal body, through a single transtibial tunnel. The aim of this repair is to restore the normal meniscal function.

Arthroscopic Saucerization and Repair of Discoid Lateral Meniscal Tear.

Project description:Meniscal tears are among the most commonly diagnosed knee injuries and often require surgical intervention. Understanding the types of meniscal tears and treatment options is paramount to caring for the young athlete. Sports medicine and arthroscopic physicians now recognize that meniscal preservation in the young athlete is essential to the long-term health and function of the knee. Although uncommon, the discoid lateral meniscus is more prone to injury because of its increased thickness and lack of blood supply. Because of the abnormal development, the peripheral attachments are frequently absent and instability often persists after a partial meniscectomy. If the instability is unrecognized during the initial treatment, a recurrence of pain and mechanical symptoms is likely and a subsequent subtotal meniscectomy may be the only treatment option. With increased awareness, arthroscopic saucerization accompanied by arthroscopically assisted inside-out meniscal repair is a preferable treatment option with an excellent outcome.

Arthroscopic Meniscal Root Repair Using a Ceterix NovoStitch Suture Passer.

Project description:Meniscal root injuries can compromise knee function and lead to early degenerative changes if not appropriately treated. Numerous techniques have been described; however, the technical difficulties in performing these repairs are well known. Furthermore, the relative strengths of various repair techniques have been examined. This article describes a single-working portal meniscal root repair technique using a double-locking loop suture configuration with a novel suture-passing device that offers a strong, reproducible repair construct.

Knotless, Retensionable Posterior Meniscal Root Repair With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair TightRope and FiberRing Sutures.

Project description:Posterior meniscal root repair techniques continue to evolve, influenced by rapidly increasing clinical interest, surgical technology advances, and biomechanical insights. A posterior meniscal root repair technique is presented, utilizing a knotless, retensionable suspensory construct developed for anterior cruciate ligament repair but is also well suited for meniscal root repair. Benefits include built-in shuttling sutures, knotless technology, and poststressing retensioning capability to ensure maximal final repair security.

Combined Procedure of Arthroscopic Pullout Medial Meniscal Root Repair From Lateral Tibia and Open-Wedge Distal Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy.

Project description:Pullout repair of medial meniscal posterior root tears (MMPRTs) is generally recommended for patients with well-aligned knees, whereas open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is often recommended for patients with MMPRTs and varus osteoarthritis. Although the management of MMPRTs with OWHTO has been controversial, retaining meniscal function can be expected through pullout repair. Conventionally, bone tunnels in pullout repair are created from the proximal anteromedial tibia. However, this technique could cause a killer angle of the repaired meniscus and could have a risk of turning the guidewire toward the neurovascular band. Therefore, we create a bone tunnel from the proximal anterolateral tibia combined with open-wedge distal tibial tubercle osteotomy, which can prevent an increase in postoperative patellofemoral contact stress; moreover, the bone tunnel can be created easily from the lateral tibia compared with OWHTO. This Technical Note describes the combined surgical procedure for patients with MMPRTs and varus osteoarthritis, which has advantages including physiological pullout direction of the repaired meniscus, lower risk of neurovascular damage, and placement of a longer plate screw that could interfere with the bone tunnel. We highlight the meticulous consideration given to the interference of the bone tunnel between the osteotomy line and plate screw.

You Can Repair More Tears Than You Think-Tricks for All-Inside Lateral Meniscal Repair With Nonabsorbable Sutures.

Project description:Since the role of the menisci has been better understood, there is a trend toward the meniscal repair rather than meniscectomy in the management of meniscal tears. Although numerous techniques of meniscal repair have been described and many authors advocate for and against each of them, no single method is universally accepted. The all-inside repair provides several advantages, such as a lower risk of neurovascular injury, the early introduction of exercises in passive range of motion, or the high strength of the repair. However, the all-inside meniscal repair with nonabsorbable suture is considered to be a technically demanding procedure with a long learning curve needed to perform it properly. The purpose of this Technical Note is to present the technique of lateral meniscus repair with nonabsorbable sutures and to provide surgical pearls to facilitate this procedure.

All-inside arthroscopic meniscal repair with meniscal cinch.

Project description:The number of commercially available all-arthroscopic meniscal repair devices has increased in recent years. Although inside-out vertical mattress sutures have been considered the gold standard in the past, recent biomechanical studies have shown that some all-arthroscopic repair devices provide comparable strength. To successfully use these devices, surgeons must understand proper insertion technique. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate this technique for the Meniscal Cinch (Arthrex, Naples, FL).

Arthroscopic Lateral Meniscus Root Repair With Reverse Suture Anchor Technique.

Project description:The stability of the knee joint is crucially dependent on the integrity of the lateral meniscus posterior root, which is often accompanied by anterior cruciate ligament injury. Anchor suture repair for lateral meniscus posterior root injury not only achieves better biomechanical effects but also ensures favorable prognosis. However, the placement of anchors often requires the establishment of a posterior approach, and the insertion of an anchor is a technical challenge. In light of this, we have applied the technique of reverse anchor fixation for repairing the lateral meniscus posterior root, which not only simplifies the procedure but also effectively reduces the "bungee effect."

Arthroscopic lateral meniscus root repair with soft suture anchor technique.

Project description:Meniscus root tear leads to circumferential hoop tension loss and increases femorotibial contact force, which causes irreversible cartilage degeneration. Biomechanical studies have shown that meniscus root repair provides better femorotibial contact force than meniscectomy. Many techniques for meniscus root repair have been published in recent years. The soft suture anchor is widely used in the glenoid labral repair. It is a small low-profile soft anchor. This article presents a new and simple technique of lateral meniscus root repair using the small soft anchor, which results in an anatomic and more vertical anchor position. It avoids instrument-related complications, such as cartilage delamination, material reaction, metal retention, and hard suture anchor pullout.
