Current suturing techniques used in meniscal allograft transplantation pose risks of damaging blood vessels and nerves, and they conflict with patients' esthetic needs, impacting the prognosis of the graft and patient satisfaction. This article introduces an all-inside all-suture technique for suturing and securing grafts during meniscal allograft transplantation procedures. This technique offers a more physiological alignment and fixation for the graft and joint capsule, ensuring graft stability while significantly reducing the risk of vascular and neural injuries in the knee joint and postoperative complications. Additionally, it eliminates the need for extra safety incisions, improving postoperative esthetics and patient satisfaction.
