Pearls and Pitfalls
| Pearls | Pitfall | Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| MCL lengthening | Reduction the FiberTak anchor | Gentile traction until reduction |
| Low anteromedial portal | Meniscal suture passer fails to pass suture | Consider using an extra suture to shuttle the anchor suture |
| High and posterior posteromedial portal | Passing the second time with the Scorpion upside-down | Pass a shuttling suture in a normal fashion |
| Gentle meniscal root reduction | Tensioning the root | Place the root in place before tensioning |
MCL, medial collateral ligament.
