Resumo

The arthroscopic "all-inside" meniscus suturing technique offers the arthroscopist a way of placing vertically oriented sutures through peripheral posterior horn tears located posterocentral without the risks of nerve, vessel, or posterior capsular entrapment inherent in both the "outside-in" and the "inside-out" arthroscopic methods. This technique introduces new instrumentation that allows the surgeon to both place sutures and tie suture knots intraarticularly under arthroscopic control.
