Pearls and Pitfalls of the All-Inside Medial Meniscus Extrusion Reduction Technique

Pearls Pitfalls
It is a technically less demanding, efficient technique. The midmedial portal should be made under vision so as not to damage the meniscus.
There is no need for the transosseous tunnel, so a low-profile aiming device instrument is not required. The portal should be made in a longitudinal direction to prevent iatrogenic injury to the medial collateral ligament.
The midmedial portal is the working portal, which makes the passage of the suture in the posterior part of meniscus easier. The drill guide should be held firmly on the edge of the tibial plateau; otherwise it can slip off from the edge.
