The "Under, Over" Technique for Repair of a Peripheral Bucket-Handle Meniscus Tear With Circumferential Compression Stitches

The benefits of preserving the meniscus are well-established. Several arthroscopic meniscal repair techniques have been described, such as the inside-out, outside-in, and all-inside. All-inside self-retrieving suture devices can be used to repair vertical, horizontal, and radial tears. However, this technique becomes difficult with large tears, as the jaw of the device cannot reach the peripheral edge of the meniscal tear. We present an all-inside technique using circumferential compression stitches to address large peripheral meniscus tears.
