  • Limited accessibility to specialized instruments can hinder timely and effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a modified, cost-effective arthroscopic meniscal repair technique.
  • To simplify the process of suture placement for improved meniscus stability.
  • To offer an accessible alternative to conventional arthroscopic repair methods.

Main Methods:

  • A modified arthroscopic meniscal repair technique utilizing polydioxanone sutures.
  • Sutures are placed using readily available needles and nylon loops.
