Sumario:Repair of meniscus injuries always posed a significant problem, especially in relatively avascular zones. Several methods to augment the repair were devised, but only a few had convincing results. Fibrin clot augmentation is one of the augmentation procedures that shows good promise in this premise. The major hurdle to it is difficulty in delivering into the meniscus tear under constant irrigation during arthroscopic procedures. This article presents a simple and unique way to prepare and transfer a fibrin clot into a meniscal tear in a step-by-step manner.
