Application of Continuous Sewing Machine-Like Suture Technique in Meniscus Injury

Meniscus injury is a common type of knee joint injury and often requires arthroscopic repair. At present, meniscus repair methods mainly include inside-out technology, outside-in technology, and all-inside technology. Among them, all-inside technology has attracted more attention from clinicians because of its better results. To improve the shortcomings of all-inside technology, we describe a “continuous sewing machine-like” suture technique. Our technique can make the meniscus suture continuous, increase its flexibility, and also enhance the stability of the suture knot through multiple puncture suture. Our technology can be applied to more-complex meniscus injuries and can greatly reduce the cost of surgery.
