Use of the T‐Fix suture anchor in fascial sheath reconstruction of complex meniscal tears

The importance of preserving meniscal tissue has become increasingly apparent as studies have demonstrated early arthritic changes in the knee. To increase the healing rate of complex tears, the use of a fascial sheath to encapsulate the exogenous clot around the tear has previously been proposed. This report describes the placement of a fascial sheath over a repaired meniscal tear using a T-fix anchor suture. With the increased use of fascial sheaths in combination with an exogenous blood clot, meniscal repair rates in complex tears can be increased.
