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.

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).

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 Stacked Suture Repair for Hypermobile Lateral Meniscus With FASTFIX 360.

Project description:Even though inside-out repair of meniscal tears is still the gold standard, the need for a posterior incision is a certain disadvantage of this approach. However, all-inside arthroscopic meniscal stacked suture repair can be performed for hypermobile lateral meniscus using all-inside devices and slotted canula. This technique is able not only to reduce surgical invasion but also preserve meniscal mobility, since sutures are placed on the peripheral area of the lateral meniscus. To successfully use the devices required for this procedure, surgeons must understand proper insertion techniques. The purpose of this Technical Note is to demonstrate this technique using FASTFIX 360.

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.

All-Arthroscopic Meniscal Allograft Transplantation Technique with Bone Plugs and Preloaded Sutures.

Project description:The meniscus is an essential structure for the knee functioning and survival. Meniscectomy is the most common surgical procedure in orthopaedic surgery. Following total or subtotal meniscectomy, meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) should be considered in symptomatic active young patients. Several MAT techniques have been described in the literature as an attempt to restore normal knee kinematics and potentially decrease the risk of developing knee osteoarthritis. The purpose of this article is to describe in detail an efficient and reproducible all-arthroscopic MAT technique with bone plugs and preloaded sutures.

Posterior Meniscal Root Repair Using a Meniscal Suture Device.

Project description:A greater understanding of the deleterious consequences that a meniscal root tear brings to the knee joint and how its surgical repair can be advantageous over the previously used treatment strategies brings the need for the development of surgical techniques that make the procedure less complex and more reproducible. When meniscal root rupture occurs, a mechanical overload occurs in the affected compartment similar to a total meniscectomy. Several authors have concluded that meniscal root reinsertion significantly improves postoperative outcomes and patient satisfaction, regardless of age or laterality of the meniscal injury. The Meniscus 4 A-II device (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) allows stitching at the root of the medial and lateral menisci. In this article, we describe the surgical repair technique for posterior-medial and -lateral meniscal root tears using this meniscal suture device. This technique is fast and effective.
