    Context:

    • Endoscopic knee operations are gaining acceptance.
    • Meniscectomy is a primary endoscopic procedure.
    • A specific technique from Linköping, Sweden, allows for tailored meniscectomy (partial, subtotal, or total).

    Purpose:

    • To describe a simple and inexpensive endoscopic meniscectomy technique.
    • To highlight the versatility of the technique for various meniscectomy types.
    • To present the outcomes of this endoscopic approach.
