Suture repair of a bucket-handle lateral meniscus tear in a 16-year-old boy with a small intact peripheral rim. This tear would be difficult to treat with traditional inside-out or all-inside techniques because of the presence of the popliteal hiatus and the proximity of neurovascular structures. (A) The first of multiple peripheral stitches is placed around the remnant at the region of the popliteal hiatus. (B) The Ceterix device is re-inserted to pass the central limb of the second stitch. (C) The first 2 stitches have been placed and tied at the region of the popliteal hiatus. At 6 months' follow-up, clinical healing had been obtained.
