Abstract
A new personal technique of arthroscopic meniscal suture in which the knots are all inside the knees, fixed only in the meniscus is presented. Using a new tool, a flexible double-loop allows the suture in the posterior horn of the meniscus to pass the suture from the anterior portal to the posterior portal without the necessity of large posterior incision to protect the vascular-nervous plexus. This paper presents the indication and the technique, as well as a variety of possible knots and their advantages.
