Main Results:

Inside-out repair is the gold standard for bucket-handle tears.
All-inside repair offers comparable outcomes with less morbidity but higher cost.
Outside-in repair is suitable for anterior horn tears.
Hybrid techniques address complex cases.
Meniscal debridement for degenerative tears.
Meniscal transplantation for young, active patients with deficiency.

Conclusions:

The choice of meniscal repair technique depends on tear type, size, and surgeon preference.
All-inside techniques are gaining popularity due to reduced morbidity.
Meniscal debridement and transplantation are viable options for specific patient populations.
