Meniscus tears are prevalent in isolation and combination with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. lesions can be difficult to access often display complex tear patterns, which result technical challenges for the operating surgeon during surgical treatment. The aim of this video article is demonstrate tips tricks performing all-inside repair challenging meniscus tears. presented techniques indicated young, physically active patients symptomatic lateral medial menisci, or without concomitant ACL procedure performed using standard anterolateral anteromedial arthroscopic portals direct visualization patterns instrument access. A suture passing device used placement loops root repair. All-inside devices radial meniscal along native circumferential fibers a horizontal mattress configuration, curved achieve optimal affecting posterior aspects at mid-body meniscus. Repair avascular zone may augmented an autologous fibrin clot delivered cannula.
