All-Inside Meniscus Repair Method for Injury of the Margin of the Anterior Segment of the Meniscus.

ABSTRACT: Although the outside-in method has been used to treat injuries to the anterior segment of the meniscus, this method has drawbacks including the need to make a skin incision and portals for arthroscopy, pain caused by strangulation of the subcutaneous tissue and joint capsule, and protrusion of the knots. To resolve these problems, we present an all-inside method that enables simple suture of injuries to the anterior segment of the meniscus through arthroscopic portals placed only on the anteromedial and lateral sides without using a specific instrument. This simple, low-cost, low-invasive technique may be useful for suturing marginal injuries to the anterior segment of the meniscus.

Inside-out meniscus repair.

Project description:Meniscus repair over resection, when feasible, should be strongly considered in an effort to preserve meniscus integrity and function, especially in younger patients. Currently, a number of techniques and implants may be used to achieve a successful result. Although all-inside meniscus repair devices have evolved significantly since their introduction and have become the repair technique of choice for many surgeons, the classic inside-out repair technique is still very useful to have in one's armamentarium. Though less popular because of the ease of current-generation fixators, the inside-out technique can still offer advantages for those surgeons who are proficient. With the versatility to address most tear patterns, the ability to deliver sutures with smaller needle diameters, and proven long-term results, it has been considered the gold standard in meniscus repair. We review the inside-out repair technique for both a medial and lateral meniscus tear with some helpful tips when performing the technique, and we present a video demonstration of the lateral meniscus repair technique.

Inside-Out Repair for Radial Meniscus Tears.

Project description:Understanding of meniscal function through basic science, natural history, and biomechanics has highlighted the importance of preserving the meniscus to maintain normal knee biomechanics. Tears that may alter these biomechanics can contribute to the progressive nature of degenerative joint disease in the knee. Radial tears result in the disruption of the circumferential fibers causing inability of the native meniscus to resist normal hoop stresses, thereby leading to increased focal areas of pressure that cause complications such as early onset arthrosis. In this technical note, we describe our preferred operative technique to repair radial meniscal tears using an arthroscopic inside-out approach with satisfactory clinical outcomes and healing response.

All arthroscopic medial meniscus inside out repair- Technical note.

Project description:Concomitant meniscal injuries are common in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insufficiency. Along with ACL reconstruction, meniscal repair offers better outcomes. This requires multiple incisions for both procedures. We present a novel technique of medial meniscus inside out repair using only the tibial tunnel wound without making an additional posteromedial incision. This is the first such description of this novel technique in a 21 year old male who underwent ACL reconstruction along with bucket handle medial meniscal repair.

Tips and Pearls for All-Inside Medial Meniscus Repair.

Project description:The medial meniscus is one of the most commonly injured structures in the knee. When the importance of its proper function is well understood, an adequate management in meniscus tear is a key issue for whole knee joint well-being. Although it has been proven that meniscal repairs have better long-term results than meniscectomy, there is still no consensus as to which suturing technique is the best. An all-inside technique seems to allow for the most anatomic repairs with the greatest preservation of surrounding soft tissues. Our aim is to show that there are no technical limits for all-inside meniscal repairs with nonabsorbable sutures. We describe the technique and some tricks for medial meniscus repair in this Technical Note.

Inside-Out Bucket-Handle Meniscus Repair With a Single-Handed Self-Advancing Zone-Specific Meniscus Repair Device.

Project description:Meniscus tears are among the most common knee injuries in the general population and often are treated arthroscopically with a meniscus repair. Of the various meniscus repair techniques available, the inside-out meniscus tear is considered the gold standard due to its versatility and good clinical outcomes. The purpose of this Technical Note and accompanying video is to describe an inside-out bucket-handle meniscus repair using a single handed, self-advancing meniscus repair device with an interchangeable zone-specific multicannula system to decrease the technical difficulty and operative time of the repair.

Technique for All-Inside Repair of Bucket-Handle Meniscus Tears.

Project description:Bucket-handle meniscal tears (BHMT) remain a challenge to treat due to their complex pathology and technical difficulty. Subtotal meniscectomy has shown to improve symptoms early but leads to accelerated osteoarthritis in the affected compartment and poor long-term outcomes. BHMT repair and meniscal preservation is the preferred option. This can be performed with inside-out, all-inside, or hybrid meniscus repair techniques. All-inside meniscus repair avoids the need for additional safety incisions, trained assistants for suture passing, and reduce concerns of soft-tissue and neurovascular complications. In this Technical Note, we detail our all-inside technique for BHMT technique and share tips for a successful repair.

An All-Inside Repair for Full Radial Posterior Lateral Meniscus Tears.

Project description:There is controversy about the treatment for unstable full radial posterior lateral meniscus tears, particularly that involving the posterior root. Some surgeons have advocated repairing these types of meniscus tears using various techniques, but their methods are somewhat technical. We developed the technique for an all-inside repair for full radial posterior lateral meniscus tears using the Meniscal Viper (Arthrex, Naples, FL). A doubled thread is passed through 1 edge of the radial tear by the Meniscal Viper and is kept in place without tying the knot. The Meniscal Viper is used again to set a new thread, repeating the same procedure to another edge of the tear. At this step, 2 doubled threads are passed through each stump of the tear, and both a loop end and 2 free ends of each thread are located outside of the joint. Then, 2 doubled threads pass the third thread into its own loop, pulling it out. Finally, the third thread becomes the mattress suture over the radial tear site and is fastened by sliding knot techniques. This procedure makes it easy to strictly, smoothly, and less invasively shorten the gap by drawing each stump of the meniscus in the direction of the circumference.

Meniscus Repair With Anterior Cord Release for Peripheral Tear Type of Discoid Lateral Meniscus.

Project description:With improvement in arthroscopic techniques, partial meniscectomy with repair for symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) has been the preferred treatment to restore meniscal function. It was reported that DLM exhibited deformation and extrusion shortly after saucerization with repair. Therefore it is desirable to minimize removal of the DLM. The anterior zone of the DLM is often tighter than that of the normal meniscus and anatomic variant. It is considered that the anterior and anterocentral dislocation types in the majority of symptomatic DLM can be related to both peripheral instability and anterior tightness. We present a technique that, first, the inside-out repair technique is applied from the posterior to middle segment of the DLM; next, the tension of the anterior zone during knee flexion-extension is confirmed to determine the released amount of that part; and, finally, all sutures are tied to reproduce the normal meniscus movement. Meniscus repair with anterior cord release without any meniscectomy could resolve peripheral instability of DLM and prevent degeneration of the articular cartilage.

Transtibial Pullout Repair of Lateral Meniscus Posterior Root Tear with Tissue Loss: A Case with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury and Medial Meniscus Tear.

Project description:Lateral meniscus (LM) posterior root tear (LMPRT) is mainly caused by trauma, especially trauma associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Although a transtibial pullout repair or a side-to-side repair is commonly performed for LMPRT, to the best of our knowledge, there is no clinical report of LMPRT with tissue loss using the pullout technique. Thus, the purpose of this report was to describe a clinical, radiographic, and arthroscopic outcome after pullout repair for a case of LMPRT with a large defect with a chronic ACL tear and complex medial meniscus (MM) tears. A 31-year-old man complained of knee pain and restricted range of motion after twisting his knee when he stepped on an iron pipe. The patient had a football-related injury to his right knee 14 years before presentation, and since then, the patient's knee has given out more than 10 times but was left unassessed. Magnetic resonance imaging showed LMPRT with tissue loss, ACL tears, and complex MM tears. Transtibial pullout repair of the LMPRT with ACL reconstruction and MM repairs were performed. Following the pullout repair of the LMPRT, an approximately 6 mm gap remained between the LM posterior root and root insertion. However, magnetic resonance imaging and second-look arthroscopy at 1 year postoperatively revealed meniscal healing, gap filling with some regeneration tissue, of the LM posterior root. Furthermore, the lateral meniscus extrusion in the coronal plane improved from 3.1 mm (preoperative) to 1.6 mm (1 year postoperatively). Transtibial pullout repair with the remaining gap could be a viable treatment option for LMPRT with tissue loss, combined with ACL reconstruction.

All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Avulsion Repair.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tibial avulsion occurs predominantly in children and young adults. It is seen in association with injuries due to hyperextension usually involving movements that are similar to riding a bicycle. Bony ACL avulsion is associated with severe restriction of knee range of motion, swelling, inability to bear weight, and continuous pain. Acute swelling does not allow a conclusive clinical examination. Bony ACL avulsion from the tibial side has been treated by various methods ranging from conservative management to a wide range of operative procedures. The various operative procedures that have been described require challenging operative skills, time, and resources, making these techniques demanding and technically challenging. We describe a technique for the treatment of Meyers-McKeever type II, III, and IV bony tibial ACL avulsions that uses regular anterolateral and anteromedial portals with an additional transpatellar portal. The avulsed fragments along with the ACL are held and buttressed with the help of FiberWires and fixed with the intra-articular portion of the proximal tibia. The technique is performed in an all-inside manner and is easy to master, even for beginners.
