Specimens showing different repair techniques, according to different lesion patterns; A) Avulsion of the posterior root of the lateral meniscus. In this case a pull-out technique can be used. Alternatively a suture anchor technique is an equivalent option. B) Lateral meniscus posterior root radial tear, with preserved tibial attachment. In this case an all-inside side to side suture is recommended. C) Complex T shaped tear of the posterior root of the lateral meniscus. In this cases multiple stitches are required according to the preferred meniscal suturing technique (all-inside, out-in, in-out). M, medial compartment; L, lateral compartment.
