Inside-out repair technique may help surgeons preserve meniscus function

“One of my favorite techniques is called the inside-out repair, where we are able to repair the meniscus using solid needles, which do less damage than a hollow needle,” Stuart told Healio. “This inside-out technique does require an incision in order to retrieve those sutures and tie the knots over the capsule, but it allows for an anatomic reduction with stacked, vertical mattress sutures, precise tensioning and proven high rates of meniscus healing.”
