Meniscus repair is preferred over resection, especially for younger patients, to preserve knee function. The inside-out meniscus repair technique remains a valuable, gold-standard option offering versatility and proven long-term results.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Knee Arthroscopy

Background:

  • Meniscus tears are common knee injuries requiring surgical intervention.
  • Meniscus repair aims to preserve native tissue, unlike resection.
  • Various surgical techniques exist for meniscus repair, including all-inside and inside-out methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the classic inside-out meniscus repair technique.
  • To highlight the advantages and utility of the inside-out technique.
  • To provide practical tips and a video demonstration for medial and lateral meniscus repair.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the inside-out meniscus repair technique.
  • Discussion of its application in medial and lateral meniscus tears.

  • Inclusion of surgical tips and a video demonstration of lateral meniscus repair.

    • Main Results:

    • The inside-out technique offers versatility for various tear patterns.
    • It allows for suture placement with smaller needle diameters.
    • The technique has demonstrated proven long-term efficacy and is considered a gold standard.

    Conclusions:

    • Meniscus repair should be prioritized over resection when feasible to maintain meniscus integrity.
    • The inside-out repair technique remains a highly effective and valuable option in a surgeon's armamentarium.
    • Proficiency in the inside-out technique allows surgeons to leverage its advantages for successful meniscus repair outcomes.
