Abstract:
Objective To present the special arthroscopic all-inside suture technique for repairing medial meniscus posterior horn tears and clinical follow-up results including arthroscopy and MRI outcome. Methods Eighty nine cases of posterior horn tears of medial meniscus combining with anterior cruciate ligament injuries were enrolled in this setting.Arthroscopic all-inside suturing medial meniscus through 2 posteromedial portals and 1 transcondylar portal was performed, with simultaneous ACL reconstruction using hamstring or B-PT-B autograft or allograft. Results Seventy five cases(84.3%)were followed-up for an average of 20.2 months, in which 25 cases underwent arthroscopic evaluation and 21 MRI evaluation.All 25 cases undergoing second-look arthroscopies were completely healed.Of the 21 cases receiving MRI evaluation, 18 were completely healed and 3 were partialy healed. Conclusions Arthroscopic all-inside suture technique is a good alternative for repairing medial meniscus posterior horn tear and a higher healing rate can be obtained using such a technique.
