Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair Using an All-Inside, All-Suture, Knotless Device

ABSTRACT: With an increased appreciation of the importance an intact meniscus has on normal knee kinematics and function, more meniscal tears are being treated with a repair rather than partial meniscectomy. There are several techniques for repairing torn meniscal tissue, including the outside-in, inside-out, and all-inside repairs. Each technique comes with its advantages and drawbacks. The inside-out and outside-in techniques allow for greater control of the repair using knots outside the joint capsule; however, they pose a risk for neurovascular injury and require additional incisions. Arthroscopic all-inside repairs have seen increasing popularity, but with current techniques, fixation is achieved either with intra-articular knots or extra-articular implants, leading to variable outcomes and the
