Pearls and Pitfalls

Pearls	Pitfalls
Good visualization of the posterior part of the meniscus to diagnose ramp lesions	Nerve injuries
High level of suspicion	Vascular injuries in the posterior knee
A posteromedial portal can help to visualize the posterior part of the medial meniscus.	Failure to identify the ramp lesions
Inside-out meniscal repair with vertical mattress sutures for a strong repair construct	Failure to protect the repair with appropriate rehabilitation protocol
Create a posteromedial approach (Chahla et al.)4
