Pearls and Pitfalls of Arthroscopic Lateral Meniscal Root Repair With Use of 2 Cinch-Loop Sutures

The PassPort Cannula should be used in the medial portal for suture placement and creation of the cinch configuration to avoid a portal soft-tissue bridge or suture entrapment.

If easier suture passage is achieved through the lateral portal with the Knee Scorpion, then the surgeon should just move the PassPort Cannula laterally to do so. Ultimate shuttling of the 2 cinch sutures into the tibial bone socket is the same.

In hard tibial bone, the surgeon can predrill with a 3.5-mm drill with the anterior cruciate ligament tibial aimer to create a pathway for the 3.5-mm FlipCutter to then be passed more easily across the tibia into the joint.
