Outside-in Repair Technique for a Complete Radial Tear of the Lateral Meniscus.

ABSTRACT: The lateral meniscus is vital in dissipating the force in the lateral compartment of the knee. A complete radial tear of the meniscus can lead to extrusion, rendering it nonfunctional and resulting in deleterious arthritic changes to the lateral compartment. Arthroscopic repair of a complete radial tear of the lateral meniscus poses a challenge to orthopaedic surgeons. Although some would advocate for meniscectomy, we present a technique for an outside-in repair using 3 sutures and standard arthroscopic portals. Overall, this provides for an excellent reduction of the meniscus.

Outside-In Repair of Longitudinal Tear of Medial Meniscus: Suture Shuttle Technique.

Project description:Meniscal tears are commonly encountered conditions of the knee. In the past, torn menisci were treated by excision of the loose flap. A better understanding of the meniscus anatomy and its biomechanical characteristics has led to the concept of meniscus preservation in eligible cases. Several suture-based repair techniques have been described in literature, including the outside-in technique. Although the outside-in technique of meniscus repair is commonly indicated for the anterior two-thirds of the meniscus, it can be used to repair the posterior part of the meniscus as well. Several modifications of this technique have been described in the literature. We hereby describe our modification of the outside-in technique of meniscus repair with the help of an epidural needle and high-strength sutures that is readily available in operating rooms. The advantages of our technique are that no large incision is required around knee joint, it's inexpensive, it can be performed with basic instruments, and even the tear of meniscus extending up to the posterior horn can be repaired. A supplemental video demonstration of the technique is included with this article.

All-Inside Repair for Radial Tear at the Posterior Horn of the Lateral Meniscus: A Figure-8 Suture Technique.

Project description:Arthroscopic suture repair for a radial tear at the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus poses a technical procedure for surgeons. We describe an all-inside repair technique using all-inside meniscal repair devices without adding any accessory portals. This simple technique provides precise reduction and stabilization of the meniscus by pinching 2 all-inside vertical sutures consecutively across the tear site.

Medial Meniscus Radial Tear: A Transtibial 2-Tunnel Technique.

Project description:Complete radial tears of the medial meniscus significantly decrease the meniscal tissue's ability to dissipate tibiofemoral loads and have been described as functionally similar to a total meniscectomy, predisposing patients to early osteoarthritis. At present, no consensus exists regarding the optimal surgical treatment of a radial meniscal tear. Current repair techniques have led to a reportedly high rate of incomplete healing or healing of the meniscus in a nonanatomic, gapped position, which compromises its ability to withstand hoop stresses. Improvement regarding the ability to repair and heal medial meniscus radial tears has the potential to result in enhanced preservation of the articular cartilage in the medial compartment of the knee. This technical description details a method for repairing radial tears of the medial meniscus using a transtibial 2-tunnel technique.

Arthroscopic Repair for Parrot Beak Tear of Lateral Meniscus with Reduction Suture and Inside-Out Technique.

Project description:Parrot beak tear is a white-white meniscal injury that often occurs in isolated injuries. Partial meniscectomy for parrot beak tears is often recommended, owing to the avascular zone; however, partial meniscectomy, especially with the lateral meniscus, has a high failure rate for return to sports, leading to residual meniscus extrusion and lateral compartment osteoarthritis. Thus, we have developed a repair technique to preserve the parrot beak tear of the avascular zone. This is a modification of the inside-out repair with additional reduction sutures. We recommend this procedure as a technique for repairing avascular parrot beak tears of the lateral meniscus.

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.

Arthroscopic Repair of Double Radial Tears of the Lateral Meniscus.

Project description:Double radial tears of the lateral meniscus are rare injuries that typically occur in the setting of an acute anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Full-thickness radial tears of the meniscus body and root render the meniscus nonfunctional from a loss of hoop stress resistance. Repair of these tears can normalize contact pressures in the lateral compartment and delay arthritic changes. We describe our technique for repairing a lateral meniscus body radial tear and concomitant posterior root tear, via inside-out suture repair and transtibial suture repair, respectively. This investigation was performed at Mayo Clinic.

Transtibial Pull-Out Repair of Converted Radial Tear Adjacent to Medial Meniscus Root.

Project description:Radial tears increase tibiofemoral contact pressure and disrupt the ability of the meniscus to withstand hoop stress, leading to earlier-onset osteoarthritis. Repair of radial tears is problematic because they have a lower healing rate and lack a single gold standard technique. However, when a radial tear is proximal to the root, there is an opportunity to convert it into a root tear. This is ideal because root tears fixed through a transtibial tunnel technique have improved clinical outcomes and reduced rates of osteoarthritis. This Technical Note and accompanying video describe a method for repairing a radial tear near the meniscus root by converting a radial tear to a root tear followed by a pull-out root repair through a transtibial tunnel. This method restores the meniscus root, allowing it to withstand hoop stress. Our technique uses a disposable root repair kit that includes a FlipCutter, a Knee Scorpion Suture Passer, a 4.75-mm SwiveLock anchor tap, a SutureLasso, a PassPort Cannula, 0 FiberLink sutures, and TigerLink sutures.

Lateral Meniscus Repair Using Posterolateral Portal: Suture Hook Technique.

Project description:Lateral meniscus lesions result in loss of meniscus hoop stresses and can lead to lateral compartment overload and early degenerative changes. Arthroscopic suture repair provides good long-term results. However, posterior vertical tears in the peripheral area of the meniscus can be technically challenging to resolve. This Technical Note describes the suture hook technique using an accessory posterolateral portal. We believe it is a safe, effective method for repairing full vertical tears of the lateral meniscus.

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.

Technique for Transtibial Knotless Repair of Lateral Meniscus Root Avulsion.

Project description:Tear of the meniscal root results in loss of circumferential hoop tension in the meniscus and increased tibiofemoral contact pressure, leading to cartilage wear. Repair of the meniscal root can restore function of the meniscus. Many techniques for root repair have recently been described. We present a technique for root repair using a transtibial socket and knotless suture technique that can be performed through standard arthroscopy portals.
