Pearls and Pitfalls

Pearls	Pitfalls
Retraction of the intermeniscal ligament with a PDS suture can aid visualization and prevent entrapment.	Inadequately tensioning the passed sutures used for fracture reduction can over-/underreduce the fracture fragment.
Use of arthroscopic cannulas helps avoid soft-tissue bridging and allows for quicker transfer of instruments.	Proper portal placement is essential to increase ease of suture passing.
Position loops of the Hewson suture passers in such a way that the angled suture passer can easily traverse both suture passers in one simple motion.	Skilled assistant is critical to drill bone tunnels, pass Hewson suture passers through the tunnels, and tie sutures.
