Although the conventional outside-in technique is especially useful for repairing tears in the anterior portion of the meniscus, it has a disadvantage of making an additional 1-2 cm sized skin incision and tying knots subcutaneously over the capsule. Therefore we devised two all-inside repair techniques of lateral meniscus anterior horn tear according to the site of meniscal tear, meniscosynovial junction or red-red zone. Because these techniques are modified methods of the outside-in meniscal repair using a spinal needle, they are as simple as conventional outside-in technique. In addition they have advantages of vertical mattress suture, which is an important characteristic of the all-inside repair, and no additional incision. We recommend these techniques as an alternative method for repairing an anterior horn tear of the lateral meniscus.
尽管传统的由外向内技术对于修复半月板前部的撕裂特别有用，但它有一个缺点，即需要额外做一个1-2厘米大小的皮肤切口，并在关节囊上方皮下打结。因此，我们根据半月板撕裂的部位、半月板滑膜交界处或红-红区，设计了两种外侧半月板前角撕裂的全关节内修复技术。由于这些技术是使用脊椎穿刺针对外由内半月板修复方法的改良，它们与传统的由外向内技术一样简单。此外，它们具有垂直褥式缝合的优点，这是全关节内修复的一个重要特征，并且无需额外切口。我们推荐这些技术作为修复外侧半月板前角撕裂的替代方法。
