초록
In cases with root tear of the medial meniscus posterior horn, the meniscus usually can be repaired by a pull out suture technique. However, there is difficulty in manipulating a suture hook via the anteromedial portal and looking through the arthroscopic camera via anterolateral portal in the narrow medial joint space at the same time. This article describes a modified simple pull out suture technique for root tear of the medial meniscus posterior horn using a posteromedial portal that provides a safe and easy handling of the suture hook. Our indications of this technique used in patients with Outerbridge 1-2 arthritic change and minimal varus axis change. Benefits of this technique are simple, less invasive, and reduced operation time by simultaneous suture with a hook via posteromedial portal and pulling of a string with grasper. It may reduce the possibility of an additional chondral or meniscal injury.
Abstract

Our indications of this technique used in patients with Outerbridge 1-2 arthritic change and minimal varus axis change. Benefits of this technique are simple, less invasive, and reduced operation time by simultaneous suture with a hook via posteromedial portal and pulling of a string with grasper.
