Pearls and Pitfalls

Pearls Pitfall
Set suture ends at one-third and two-thirds initially to allow adequate length for second loop passage. Tissue bridge. Avoid tissue bridge via passing the meniscal suture ends through the shuttling suture arthroscopically or grasp all suture ends and remove together at once.
Tunnel convergence. Avoid via replacing the ACL tibial tunnel drill to understand its trajectory and start the meniscal repair transtibial tunnel proximal and lateral to the ACL tibial tunnel.
