The ramp area, which is the junction between the posterior horn of the medial meniscus and the synovium, prevents anterior knee translation, transmits and distributes load, and assumes some rotational stability. Ramp lesions occur in approximately 9% to 15% of patients with anterior cruciate ligament tears. We describe an all-inside repair technique with suture for a meniscotibial ligament tear-type ramp lesion of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.
