Abstract
Arthroscopic meniscal repair is a commonly performed procedure in clinical practice. With improvements in bioabsorbable implants, all-inside techniques have increased in popularity. The Mitek RapidLoc meniscal fixation implant may be used to fix reparable meniscal tears arthroscopically without requiring an additional incision. We report 2 potential complications associated with this implant: chondral injury causing femoral grooving and recurrent meniscal tear 4 months after initial surgery.
