Meniscus Repair
Three Techniques
John F. Meyers, M.D.
Repairable Menisci
• Outer 1/3 – Red Red Zone
• Middle 1/3 – Red White Zone
Non-Repairable Menisci
• Middle 1/3 Red White Zone
• Inner 1/3 – White White Zone
Inside Out Technique
Technique Medial Meniscus
• Scope Medial – Cannula Lateral
• Prepare Meniscus and
Synovium
• Work from posterior to Anterior
Technique Medial Meniscus
• Horizontal or Vertical Mattress
Sutures
• Superior and Inferior Surface
• Transilluminate Saphenous
Vein
• Posteromedial Incision
Technique Lateral Meniscus
• Scope lateral cannula medial
• Posterolateral incision to protect
peroneal nerve
Combined Posterior Incicion and
Arthroscopic Intra-articular Repair
Lateral Meniscus
• Peroneal nerve at risk with any
repair medial to popliteus
• Combination arthroscopic open
repair
Outside-In Technique
Technique Medial Meniscus
• Scope lateral
• Pass needle through tear
• Pass suture through needle
Technique Medial Meniscus
• Mulberry knot
• Repeat with adjacent stitch
• Tie sutures over capsule
Technique Lateral Meniscus
• Scope medial
• Identical procedure
Advantage
Cheap & Easy
Disadvantage
Posterior tears difficult to reach
Inside – Inside Technique
Fibrin Clot
• Enhances healing
• Large tears
• Failed repairs
Fibrin Clot
• Probably not necessary with
combined ACL reconstruction
Results
Cannon
• 90% success combined with
ACL reconstruction
• 60% success with isolated tears
Rosenberg
• 92% success when repaired in
red red zone
Dehaven – open repair
• 95% success in stable knees
• 62% success in ACL deficient
knees
