An All-Inside Repair Technique for Unstable Type-IV Lateral Meniscal Posterior Root Tear

Lateral meniscal posterior root tears are defined as tears of meniscus within 9 mm from the bony root attachment. Unrepaired root tears significantly compromise the biomechanical functions of the meniscus, resulting in early and accelerated osteoarthritis. Several authors have described various tech...

description Lateral meniscal posterior root tears are defined as tears of meniscus within 9 mm from the bony root attachment. Unrepaired root tears significantly compromise the biomechanical functions of the meniscus, resulting in early and accelerated osteoarthritis. Several authors have described various techniques to reattach the posterior root of the lateral meniscus, and decent short-term results have been observed. Although most previous techniques are capable of repairing radial root tears, difficulties are encountered when repairing oblique type IV tears. In this technique note, the author describes an efficient side-to-side repair technique using the FAST-FIX system, which is practical in repairing the type IV tears of the lateral meniscus. This technique includes certain sequence of the stitches and skills of controlling the root remnant, which makes it easy to penetrate the meniscus and to achieve anatomic repair.
