Arthroscopic Partial Menisectomy Technique of Medial Meniscus Using Postero-medial Portal
|

Abstract
|
|
|
It is impossible to repair the meniscal tear when the torn fragment has severe degenerative change, or when the displaced torn fragment is not reduced into antatomic position due to loss of substance or deformation of torn fragment. Therefore
arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is indicated at these situations. Sometimess it is extremely difficult to resect arthroscopically the posterior attachment of torn fragment of medial meniscus through standard anterior two or three portals
because
of
poor arthroscopic visula field and a narrow space for passing of instrunents.
The purpose of this paper is showing the three arthroscpic surgical techniques resecting the poste4rior attachment of torn fragment using posteromedial portal. The advantages of te3chniques are to minimize damage of articular cartilage, to
prevent
inadequate resection of posterior attachment of torn fragment, to prevent inadequate resection of posterior attachment of torn fragment, to prevent the damage to articular cartilage and remaining meniscal tissue and to avoid the damage of
posterior
cruciate ligament and vascular structures.
