Fig 5.

Left knee viewed from lateral portal, with patient lying supine. Outside the joint through the PassPort Cannula in the anteromedial portal, the 2 free ends of the No. 0 FiberWire suture are passed through the loop to create the cinch configuration. The cinch is then slid down to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus by pulling on the free ends of the No. 0 FiberWire suture. This suturing process is repeated so that there are two No. 0 FiberWire cinch-loop sutures (arrows) in place in the lateral meniscal root.
