Several techniques exist to increase the rate of healing of meniscal tears after repair. We describe a simple arthroscopic technique of microfracture to the intercondylar notch. This technique can provide marrow elements to the site of meniscus repair to aid in meniscal healing at the time of repair.

Clinical Results of Meniscal Repair Using Submeniscal Horizontal Sutures

Background:  Parts of the implants placed over the meniscus during meniscal repair can wear down the cartilage in the contact zones and cause chronic synovitis. Placing horizontal sutures under the meniscus may overcome this potential hazard. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the midterm results of arthroscopic meniscal repair using submeniscally placed out-in horizontal sut...

Meniscus repair: considerations in treatment and update of clinical results.

The meniscus plays an important role in the function of the knee. Preservation of the meniscus is preferred if possible when considering treatment of a meniscus tear. A thorough understanding of the anatomy of the meniscus, the structure, the mechanics, and other factors of meniscal healing are critical when evaluating the torn meniscus for a reparative procedure. Many options for meniscus repa...
