The Meniscal Cyst : Arthroscopic Decompression And Modified Outside-In Suture Repair of The Anterior Horn of Lateral Meniscus
Journal Title: National Journal of Integrated Research in Medicine - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
This article describes a modified suture technique designed for the vertical repair of the ante-rior horn of the meniscus after arthroscopic decompression of a large meniscal cyst. This procedure comprises of three steps: first, the meniscus was pierced vertically using a suture hook and a No. II PDS suture. Second, both ends of the No. II PDS on the femoral and tibial surfaces of the meniscus were pulled to the out-side of the joint capsule using a spinal needle pre-loaded with suture material. Finally, a skin incision was made adjacent to the suture materials, and both ends were tied. We recommend this technique not only for the vertical repair of the anterior horn of the meniscus after decompression of large meniscal cyst, but also to repair a longitudinal tear of the meniscus.
