To introduce a simplified arthroscopic technique for inserting suture anchors at the posterior root of the medial meniscus using a curved guide.
Designed an all-inside arthroscopic approach utilizing a routine posteromedial portal.
Employed a 25° curved drill guide to access the anatomic footprint of the posterior meniscal root.
Inserted a soft suture anchor through the curved guide to achieve secure fixation.
Enabled direct, anatomic placement of the suture anchor into the posterior root without steep insertion angles.
Eliminated the need for technically demanding accessory portals, including high posteromedial, trans-septal, or quadriceptal portals.
