[Indications and surgical procedures in meniscus and capsular ligament injuries].

The main aim in the treatment of meniscus injuries is the restoration of the meniscus by a primary suture. Partial resections of the meniscus should be done in a sophisticated arthroscopic technique. By the reason of relaxing of the joint's ligament should be repaired by operation. In spite of a larger "defect" bone-tendon-bone techniques are to prefer because of an improved long-term stability.
