Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The authors introduce a new technique of arthroscopic reduction of subluxed medial meniscus using suture anchor for the restoration of hoop stress.
Operative Technique: Anterolateral, anteromedial, and medial midpatellar arthroscopic portal are used. Arthroscope was inserted through anterolateral portal. Through the scope, we confirmed subluxation of medial meniscus. Transection of menisci including radial and root tear were excluded. We released the anterior horn of medial meniscus through anteromedial and burred the future insertion site of suture anchor. After inserting suture anchor through medial midpatellar portal, we used 90 degree suture hook and no.2 Nylon to retrieve the suture of inserted anchor. We tied the suture by sliding knot-tying method. Weight bearing was limited for 6 weeks postoperatively.
Conclusion: Arthroscopic retightening of medial meniscus is less invasive, conserving and progressed method for subluxed meniscus.
