Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.Abstract Surgical repair of complex meniscal tears can be quite challenging, especially in the case of a failed meniscus repair. In this setting, meniscal volume may be lost, leading to an increased risk of osteoarthritis development. To prevent this from occurring, care should be taken to revise these complex tears using an inside‐out technique ...

Arthroscopic Repair of the Anterior Root of the Lateral Meniscus Using Knotless All‐Suture Anchors
Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.Abstract Anterior root tears of the lateral meniscus are uncommon but can significantly disrupt knee biomechanics by increasing contact pressures and accelerating cartilage degeneration if left untreated. This article describes an arthroscopic technique for repair of the anterior root of the lateral meniscus using all‐suture anchors.
