Tears of Popliteomeniscal Fascicles and Meniscofibular Ligament in Popliteal Hiatus Area: An Arthroscopic Repair Technique With Suture.

In the popliteal hiatus area, instead of directly connecting to the capsule, the lateral meniscus attaches to the popliteal and fibular head through the popliteomeniscal fascicles and meniscofibular ligament. These connection tissues are vital to the stability of the lateral meniscus. However, reporting on injuries to these connection tissues is limited, and consensus on the treatment of such injuries is lacking. This article introduces an arthroscopic all-inside repair technique for meniscal tears involving popliteomeniscal fascicle and meniscofibular ligament injuries.
