Radial tears of the meniscus can lead to cartilage degeneration and meniscal osteoarthritis if left untreated or treated with meniscectomy. Therefore, repair techniques are increasingly used. We describe a method called the "11-8 suture" technique for the repair of lateral meniscal radial tears in the middle to posterior segments, which preserves meniscal mobility and provides robust suturing. First, vertical sutures are placed at both ends of the tear. Next, the torn edges are approximated using a single thread in a figure-of-8 pattern encompassing the vertical sutures. This technique offers strong initial fixation and preserves the mobility of the lateral meniscus, making it a beneficial suturing method.
半月板的放射状撕裂如果不治疗或进行半月板切除术，可能会导致软骨退变和半月板性骨关节炎。因此，修复技术的应用越来越广泛。我们描述了一种称为“11-8缝合”的技术，用于修复外侧半月板中后段的放射状撕裂，该技术可保留半月板的活动度并提供牢固的缝合。首先，在撕裂两端放置垂直缝线。接下来，用一根线以8字缝合法环绕垂直缝线来接近撕裂边缘。该技术提供了牢固的初始固定，并保留了外侧半月板的活动度，使其成为一种有益的缝合方法。
