Simplified Technique for Arthroscopic Repair of the Meniscus Root Tear of the Knee

Abstract

This report describes the arthroscopic transtibial pullout repair technique using multiple simple stitch (MSS), which was used to treat a medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) of the knee. The most commonly used technique to address this type of MMPRT is currently arthroscopic transtibial pullout repair. MSS pullout repair technique can provide excellent pullout strength and large tissue-bone contact area, which facilitates successful healing potential. This MSS pullout repair technique may be suggested as another useful option that can be used in the treatment of MMPRT.
