Outside-in Continuous Meniscal Suture Technique of the Knee
2020, Arthroscopy TechniquesCitation Excerpt :These variations are correlated with the method used to evaluate the healing, with some studies performing a second arthroscopic look and other studies using clinical scores.13-15 In the pioneering study by Morgan and Casscells,16 the authors found 98% good results in 70 patients who underwent this surgical technique used in the posterior horn of the meniscus. Recently, Joshi et al.17 described a new surgical technique for outside-in meniscal suture for the treatment of longitudinal lesions of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.
Meniscus Repair of the Anterior Third: The Outside-In Option
2018, Operative Techniques in Sports MedicineCitation Excerpt :When the knee is flexed (90°), this nerve lies posterior to the joint line and is deep to the biceps tendon. Keeping the knee flexed and placing the spinal needle well anterior to the biceps tendon will avoid injury to the peroneal nerve when performing lateral meniscus repair.9 As long as the knee is flexed, needle and suture placement should be well away from the peroneal nerve when addressing anterior one-third tears.

2011, KneeCitation Excerpt :Technical issues such as suture or suture-anchor systems may be biomechanically equivalent in vitro [43], but may also influence the clinical results. In our study, a high incidence of neurological skin sensations at the site of the surgical approach for outside-in knotting could be found, which has been also described in the literature [44,45]. In fact, open meniscal repair appears to be associated with a higher level of postoperative dysesthesia around the knee (39%) which may favor arthroscopic repair with only 11% of dysesthesia [46].
