- Abstract
Current options for meniscal root repair include repair into trans-osseous bone tunnels, trans-osseous suture passage for surface fixation, and suture anchor fixation. Suture anchor repair techniques have been developed since it eliminates the issue of the suture abrasion, tunnel drilling, and distal fixation inherent to trans-osseous tunnel. We present a description of a new variation in the more vertical suture anchor repair technique for meniscal root tear using a novel medial quadriceptal portal. Level of evidence Therapeutic, Level V.
