Abstract
|
|
|
|
The posterior root of medial meniscus maintains normal meniscal function by circumferential hoop tension and prevents extrusion of meniscus and progression of osteoarthritis. A complete tear of posterior root of medial meniscus leads to loss of hoop tension, it is important to repair it and preserve the function of the medial meniscus. Recently, a variety of arthroscopic assisted reduction and repair techniques have been used. We create an arthroscopic all-inside suture technique using a 18 gauge spinal needle and suture anchor that is easier and more convenient compared with the previous techniques. So we report this technique with a review of current literatures.
