Innovative techniques in arthroscopic meniscal repair

Advanced techniques for arthroscopic repair of meniscal tears offer new ways to repair the meniscus and reduce the rate of long-term arthrosis. The new all-inside technique reduces complications, morbidity, and surgical time as compared to the inside-out or outside-in methods of repair. Application of biomaterial technology to new implants used for all-inside arthroscopy show early promising clinical results. The purpose of this report is to describe new biomaterials and techniques being used successfully in arthroscopic surgery on the meniscus.
