    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Arthroscopy

    Background:

    • Bucket handle tears are frequent meniscal injuries affecting both medial and lateral menisci.
    • These injuries often occur in younger individuals and are associated with other intra-articular pathologies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an effective arthroscopic technique for managing bucket handle meniscal tears.
    • To highlight the importance of surgeon proficiency with various arthroscopic meniscal repair methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Arthroscopic visualization and percutaneous removal of the mobile bucket handle fragment.
    • Focus on achieving a stable and smoothly contoured remaining meniscal rim.

    Main Results:

    • The described seven-step technique is presented as the easiest, most accurate, and reliable method.
    • Emphasizes the need for surgeons to be adept with multiple arthroscopic techniques due to rapid advancements.

    Conclusions:

    • Arthroscopic management of bucket handle tears aims to preserve meniscal rim stability and contour.
    • The seven-step technique provides a reliable option amidst rapid technological and methodological advancements in arthroscopic surgery.
