Meniscus Repair with Fibrin Clot in Complete Radial Tear of Lateral Meniscus

Meniscus tear is one of the most common knee injuries. The increasing recognition of the importance of the meniscal function has led to a range of new treatments for meniscal tears. A complete radial tear disrupts the circumferential hoop tension of the meniscus. Therefore, restoring its natural architecture is of utmost importance. However, it is difficult to achieve meniscal healing of a complete radial tear due to its structural characteristics. We report five cases of a complete radial tear of the lateral meniscus treated successfully using a fibrin clot that showed good meniscal healing and excellent clinical outcomes.
