Intraoperative arthroscopic image, left knee, camera in the anterolateral portal. Dedicated instrumentation has been used to let a unabsorbable wire (black arrow) to pass through the medial meniscus. The suture comes out from the anteromedial portal. Since the created hole is going to be enlarged to let the tendon pass through it, it’s utmost important to choose a safe zone in healthy meniscal tissue, not too close to the edge of the posterior horn, toward the body of the meniscus. (MFC, medial femoral condyle; MMPR, medial meniscus posterior root; TP, tibial plateau.)
