Abstract
Lateral meniscal repair of the popliteal hiatus is technically demanding. The inside-out technique requires an additional incision and carries the risk of posterolateral soft tissue damage to the knee joint. In addition, the presence of the popliteal tendon limits the route of the suture thread. Within the current trend of the all-inside suture technique, meniscal suture-based all-inside repair demonstrates biomechanical advantages over anchor-based all-inside repair. We introduce a meniscal suture-based all-inside meniscal repair technique for longitudinal lateral meniscal tears.
