Popis:	We report a simple method for repairing damage to the meniscus by utilizing eye-holed Kirschner wire and a single suture strand. The repair involves the following: Step 1, the peripheral meniscal tear suitable for repair is identified arthroscopically. Step 2, a 1.8mm diameter eye-holed Kirschner wire is inserted into the joint and passed through the meniscus across the tear and then panetrates through to the skin. Step 3, an open incision is made around the wire and the neurovascular structurues are retracted. A free nylon suture is then passed through the eye-hole of the wire. Step 4, The wire is pulled back into the joint and repushed out through the meniscus about 5mm from the original stitch. Step 5: The nyron suture is removed from the wire and tied over the retinaculum. The same procedure may be need to repeated according to the width of the meniscal tear.
