Concurrent medial and lateral bucket handle meniscal tear repair in a chronic anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knee: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Bucket handle meniscus tears (BHMTs) are seen in the active population, especially young athletes. They often occur with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, causing significant knee symptoms and affecting the patients' quality of life. All-inside meniscus repair can be effective in the treatment for BHMT to improve symptoms and to preserve the native meniscus. We report a case of a 25-year-old female retired soccer player who presented with a three-year history of right knee pain, swelling and instability. She was diagnosed with BHMT of medial and lateral menisci and complete tear of the ACL on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). She underwent arthroscopic medial and lateral meniscus repair with concomitant ACL reconstruction. Both the medial and lateral BHMT were reduced and repaired u
