All-Inside Suture Repair for Isolated Radial Tears at the Midbody of the Lateral Meniscus.

ABSTRACT: In young athletes, radial tear of the midbody on the semilunar lateral meniscus in stable knees is most common. Conventionally, for this type of tear, meniscectomy has been considered as a first-line treatment. However, meniscectomy does not prevent degenerative change. Therefore, repair is another treatment option for a full radial tear, though this type of tear can be difficult to repair because of the lack of a vascular supply. Compared with conventional transcapsular suture techniques (e.g., inside-out/outside-in techniques or all-inside techniques with implants), all-inside suture (AIS) repair techniques can avoid bunching of the meniscus to the capsule. AIS is considered suitable for restoration of normal structure and movement of the meniscus after repair, which can be advantageous for meniscal healing. However, AIS repair for an isolated radial tear at the midbody of the lateral meniscus has rarely been reported. Therefore, we applied the AIS repair technique for isolated radial tear at the midbody of the semilunar lateral meniscus using a QuickPass SutureLasso with 2-0 FiberWire. This procedure is easier and less invasive, shortening the gap by drawing each stump of the meniscus in the direction of the circumference.

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.

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.

Suture Repair of Full Radial Posterior Lateral Meniscus Tears Using a Central Midline Portal.

Project description:Full radial posterior lateral meniscus root tears are frequently associated with injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament. Left unrepaired, they result in loss of the meniscus hoop stress function and can lead to overload of the lateral compartment and early degenerative changes. Arthroscopic suture repairs show successful results with long-term follow-up. However, previously described suture repair techniques have often required special instrumentation and can be technically demanding. This Technical Note describes the use of an accessory portal through the patellar tendon as a safe and easy method for repairing full posterior radial tears of the lateral meniscus.

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.

Meniscal Ramp Lesions Repair: An Under-Meniscus All-Inside Suture in Cases of Isolated Meniscotibial Ligament Tears.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament ruptures are commonly associated with ramp lesions of the medial meniscus. These posterior longitudinal peripheral tears induce medial meniscus instability and increase the anteroposterior and rotational knee laxity. We divided ramp lesions in 3 types: meniscocapsular ligament tears, meniscotibial ligament tears, and a combination of both lesions. The conventional surgical technique for treating meniscal ramp lesions is to use a suture hook device through a posteromedial approach, which is a complex process requiring a learning curve and extensive surgical time. An anterior approach often is criticized as underestimating the true incidence of ramp lesion and to offer insufficient operating space. The purpose of this technical note is to describe our arthroscopic repair technique in cases of isolated meniscotibial ligament tears. The suture is performed by an under-meniscus anterior approach with a percutaneous medial collateral ligament release to create an additional opening of the medial compartment. This simple procedure allows for accurate diagnoses of the meniscotibial lesions and enables repair of the lesions with an all-inside suture device without the usual drawbacks of a posteromedial approach.

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.

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 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.

The Posteromedial-Transseptal Portal for Arthroscopic Suture Hook Repair of Posterior Horn Tears and Popliteomeniscal Fascicles Tears of the Lateral Meniscus

Project description:We present a convenient and safe arthroscopic technique for suturing the lateral meniscus. In this technique, the clinician establishes a conventional posteromedial approach in the figure-of-four position of the knee by using the anterolateral and anteromedial observation approaches. Behind the posterior cruciate ligament, an operational approach is formed through the posterior mediastinum of the knee joint. Through this approach, suture hook can be brought to the posterior horn and body of the lateral meniscus, thus simplifying the suture of the lateral meniscus. We have used this technique to finish all-inside suture using suture hooks in a variety of types of lateral meniscal injuries, including longitudinal posterior horn tears, bucket handle meniscus tears, and tears around the popliteal hiatus area. Compared with traditional lateral meniscal all-inside suture technology through anteromedial or anterolateral approaches, this technology can suture more accurately, safely, and conveniently, avoid the involvement of the popliteal tendon suture, and the lower risk of complications such as popliteal vascular and nerve injury occur. Technique Video Video 1 Introduction of the posteromedial-transseptal portal for arthroscopic suture hook repair. The key steps of the repair of posterior horn tears and popliteomeniscal fascicles tears of lateral meniscus with modified technique were illustrated.

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.
