Key Points

  • The aim is to present a new technique for repairing medial meniscal root tears and centralizing the meniscus.
  • Described a combined arthroscopic technique for medial meniscal root repair and centralization.
  • Utilized all-suture anchors without the need for a posteromedial portal.
  • Accompanied the description with a video demonstration.
  • Technical overview of the repair technique was successfully detailed.
  • The described method potentially restores normal tibiofemoral mechanics.

Abstract

Abstract Medial meniscus posterior root tears frequently result in meniscal extrusion and disruption of normal tibiofemoral contact mechanics. Several techniques, including transtibial pullout and anchor‐based repair methods, are used for root repair and meniscus centralization. We describe a combined method of arthroscopic medial meniscal root repair and centralization using all suture anchors without a posteromedial portal. In this technical note, we provide a comprehensive overview of the above technique accompanied by a video demonstration.
