Abstract
Radial tears of the human knee meniscus result in the loss of circumferential hoop stress and are highly correlated with knee degeneration. Although a variety of surgical techniques are available to repair radial meniscal tears, including inside-out, outside-in, and all-inside techniques, conventional repair techniques focus only on stabilizing the damaged portion. This Technical Note describes a biomechanical meniscus repair technique of meniscal circumferential fiber augmentation, concomitant with conventional repair, to promote meniscal healing from a biomechanical perspective.
