Arthroscopic Lateral Meniscus Root Repair With Reverse Suture Anchor Technique.

Abstract

The stability of the knee joint is crucially dependent on the integrity of the lateral meniscus posterior root, which is often accompanied by anterior cruciate ligament injury. Anchor suture repair for lateral meniscus posterior root injury not only achieves better biomechanical effects but also ensures favorable prognosis. However, the placement of anchors often requires the establishment of a posterior approach, and the insertion of an anchor is a technical challenge. In light of this, we have applied the technique of reverse anchor fixation for repairing the lateral meniscus posterior root, which not only simplifies the procedure but also effectively reduces the "bungee effect."
