Recent advances in our understanding of knee biomechanics and load transmission have emphasized the need for meniscus preservation. However, the literature suggests that more needs to be done. The outside-in arthroscopic meniscus repair was first described by Warren in 1985. Despite the popularity of new all-inside meniscus repair devices, the outside-in meniscus repair technique is still used by many surgeons to preserve the meniscus. During the last 26 years, this technique has evolved and modified. However, its basic principles as being a minimally invasive, simple, and inexpensive meniscus repair technique have not changed. The results of outside-in meniscus repair have also stood the test of time, yielding healing rates and functional scores comparable to those of other meniscus repair techniques. |
