Abstract
Meniscus root injuries lead to increased tibiofemoral contact pressures and rapid progression of osteoarthritis. Early recognition and treatment with a meniscal root repair can restore biomechanics and help preserve the joint. The transtibial pullout repair and suture anchor repair are the most commonly used techniques to achieve anatomic fixation of the meniscal root. Still, each method presents distinct advantages and disadvantages. This Technical Note aims to describe a vastly simplified, more efficient, and reproducible posterior lateral meniscal root repair using a retensionable knotless all-suture anchor.
