Demonstrates effective repair of radial meniscus tears in patients, suggesting improved surgical outcomes.
Radial meniscus tears are a common tear pattern that, if left untreated, can ultimately lead to accelerated degenerative changes and disability. There is well‐established evidence that supports meniscal preservation in patients with radial meniscus tears. Various surgical techniques are used to repair radial tears, including inside‐out, outside‐in, and all‐inside methods. Self‐retrieving all‐inside devices are a safe option when repairing radial tears. However, radial tears at the junction of the anterior horn and body present a unique surgical challenge, as surgeons may have difficulty maneuvering the jaws of the self‐retrieving suture device around the anterior limb of the meniscal tear. We describe an all‐inside repair technique using a suture shuttle for junctional anterior horn and body tears.
