Abstract

Anterior root tears of the lateral meniscus are uncommon but can significantly disrupt knee biomechanics by increasing contact pressures and accelerating cartilage degeneration if left untreated. This article describes an arthroscopic technique for repair of the anterior root of the lateral meniscus using all-suture anchors. This approach provides strong fixation, reduces suture knot bulk, and allows precise tensioning of the meniscus. The objective is to restore the native footprint on the tibial plateau.
