Abstract

The importance of the lateral meniscus in weight bearing, distribution of force, shock absorption, articular cartilage protection, proprioception, stabilization of the joint, and joint lubrication is well known. Surgeons currently agree on the importance of preserving the menisci. Different suture techniques have been standardized. These include outside-in, inside-out, and all-inside techniques. The all-inside technique can be used to repair lesions of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. However, this technique presents important disadvantages, such as the necessity for an accessory portal and a high risk of neurovascular damage. For these reasons, we have developed a technique in which a suture hook and a shuttle relay are used to pass the suture wire through the meniscal lesion of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus with an all-inside technique, without the use of accessory portals and cannulas, with a standard 30° arthroscopic camera.
