Pearls and Pitfalls

Pearls	Pitfalls
Always test the positioning and stability of the flexed knee on the L-shaped support before starting asepsis and antisepsis.	Incorrect placement of the L-support can result in poor knee stabilization and compromised access.
Tilt the surgical table 15° to 20° toward the nonoperative side to enhance visualization and access.	Failing to secure the patient with a strap may lead to intraoperative shifting and surgical difficulty.
Use a safety strap or belt on the abdomen to prevent involuntary movement and sliding during the procedure.	An improper angle of table tilt can hinder visualization and limit surgical instrument maneuverability.
Use a blunt trocar to safely plan the inside-out suture pathway through tactile feedback on the capsule.	Neglecting anatomical landmarks during the posterolateral approach increases the risk of neurovascular complications.
Use a rigid, semicannulated guide to ensure precise placement of all-inside sutures in the posterior horn.	Forgetting to palpate and externally guide the device may result in misplacement of the suture device.
