    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Knee Anatomy

    Background:

    • Meniscus injuries are common in knee trauma.
    • Surgical repair aims to preserve meniscus function.
    • Limited data exists on optimal repair techniques and follow-up durations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the rationale and technique for meniscus repair.
    • To report outcomes from ten surgical cases.
    • To establish guidelines for patient selection and postoperative care.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical technique involving gentle handling of synovium and buried sutures.
    • Identification of contraindications including vascular and metabolic disorders.
    • Postoperative immobilization protocol for meniscus healing.
