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. |
