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. |
