All arthroscopic medial meniscus inside out repair- Technical note.

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Arthroscopic All-Inside Medial Meniscus Extrusion Reduction.

Project description:Medial meniscus extrusion is commonly seen in patients who have medial meniscus posterior root tear. Extruded meniscus results in faster progression of knee arthrosis. Thus, it is important to reduce the extrusion as well as treat the cause of extrusion. This Technical Note describes an all-inside arthroscopic technique to reduce the meniscus extrusion. An additional medial portal has to be made along with the standard anteromedial and anterolateral portals. A double-loaded suture anchor is used to secure the extrusion of the meniscus in its native position. Thus, making a transosseous tibial tunnel is not required. It is easy to perform and is an efficient technique.

Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Reconstruction and Pull-Out Repair Combined Technique for Root Tear of Medial Meniscus.

Project description:Repair of medial meniscus posterior root tear is important in preventing rapid progression of knee osteoarthritis. There are many repair techniques for medial meniscus posterior root tears, and good clinical results have been reported. Conversely, in terms of improving extrusion and healing meniscal injuries, sufficient results have not been obtained. Reconstruction of the medial meniscus posterior root can restore meniscal hoop action and normal knee biomechanics. Moreover, pull-out repair technique provides strong traction. We describe arthroscopic medial meniscus posterior root reconstruction and pull-out repair technique combined technique for medial meniscus root tear.

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.

Arthroscopic Inside-Out Repair of a Meniscus Bucket-Handle Tear Augmented With Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate.

Project description:Bucket-handle tears of the meniscus comprise nearly 10% of all meniscus tears and commonly affect the young male population. Displacement of the free segment can lead to significant pain and disability, necessitating reduction and surgical treatment. General contraindications include malalignment, severe arthritis, significant comorbidities, or chronic asymptomatic tears, but otherwise repair should almost always be performed. Options for surgical treatment include partial meniscectomy and arthroscopic repair using an all-inside, outside-in, or inside-out technique. The purpose of this Technical Note is to detail our arthroscopic inside-out repair technique augmented with bone marrow aspirate concentrate.

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.

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.

Arthroscopic All-Inside Repair of Medial Meniscus Grade 2 Horizontal Cleavage Tear Using Additional Posteromedial Portal.

Project description:Management of intrasubstance horizontal cleavage meniscal lesions of microtraumatic origin remains poorly defined in young patients. For grade 2 lesions resistant to conservative measures, the standard technique is debridement of the intrasubstance tear and open suture repair via a posteromedial approach. The objective of this Technical Note is to propose an arthroscopic alternative to this open technique, using an arthroscopic additional posteromedial portal. This technique facilitates an approach to the lesion via its peripheral portion without creating an iatrogenic lesion of the free edge of the meniscus, which is located in the white zone and thus exhibits limited vascularity.

Arthroscopic Transtibial Pull-Out Repair of Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tear With a Whip Running Suture Technique.

Project description:Medial meniscus posterior root tear is a disruptive injury causing significant sequelae. Several techniques to repair and maintain the native function of the medial meniscus have been introduced, but limitations have been reported in terms of their results. In this current note, the authors introduce the arthroscopic transtibial pull-out repair with whip running suture technique, which may not only avoid the potential risk of meniscus cut-through by the suture material but also optimize the reduction of the extruded meniscus. By suturing the posteromedial capsule and peripheral meniscus, more medialization force can be directly applied to the extruded part of the meniscus, and normal hoop tension can be restored.

Arthroscopic Saucerization With Inside-Out Repair and Anterocentral Shift of a Discoid Lateral Meniscus With Retention of Adequate Volume of Residual Meniscus.

Project description:AbstractPreservation of the meniscus has been shown to influence the progression of osteoarthritic changes in the knee. Discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) is classified on the basis of the presence and location of instability resulting from deficient capsular attachments. Recently, meniscal stabilization after saucerization was recommended in cases of DLM to preserve the meniscus shape and avoid the progression of osteoarthritis. However, it is difficult to identify the accurate resection volume and residual meniscal width during surgery, especially when there is an anterocentral shift of the DLM. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic technique for an anterocentral shift of the DLM in which we highlight the resection point and confirm the methods of retaining an adequate volume of residual meniscus to restore and maintain the shape and function of the meniscus.Level of evidenceLevel 1, Knee; Level 2, Meniscus.
