Summary: The study compared the rate of cyst formation after meniscal tear repair using a new all-inside suture device versus an older one. The MRI-confirmed cyst formation rate was significantly lower in the group using the new device, suggesting that using a low-profile device may decrease the risk of cyst formation.

Summary: The study evaluated the failure rate of all-inside meniscal repair performed using a particular device in patients undergoing reconstructive ligament surgery. Results showed that failure was more common in medial repairs, and failure of ACL reconstruction was associated with meniscal repair failure.

Summary: This study compared the failure rate and time to failure of AI and IO meniscal repair in elite athletes. The results showed that AI repair of medial meniscal tears had a higher failure rate compared to IO repair, while lateral meniscal repairs had a lower failure rate.

Summary: This study evaluated the biomechanical characteristics of all-inside meniscus root repair and compared it with the previously described transtibial technique. The results showed that all-inside meniscus root repair can reduce pressure and achieve similar results as the intact meniscus.

Summary: The study compared the biomechanical properties of two techniques (TPO and ASA) for repairing posterior medial meniscal root tears (PMMRT). Results showed that the ASA technique demonstrated superior biomechanical properties in terms of contact surface area and restored tibiofemoral contact mechanics to be comparable with the intact knee, while the TPO technique showed significant differences compared with the intact knee.

Summary: All-inside repair demonstrated significantly higher primary fixation strength than inside-out repair. Meniscal repairs with higher construct stiffness (IO-ST, FiberStich) demonstrated increased resistance against gap formation and failure load.

Summary: The study reported excellent clinical outcomes of locked bucket-handle medial meniscal tear repairs using an all-inside suture technique with posteromedial and posterolateral transseptal portals during ACL reconstruction, with significant improvements in IKDC and Lysholm scores after 3-5 years.

Summary: The study showed that all-inside meniscal repair is associated with reduced operative time and lower odds of nerve injury complications compared to inside-out repair, without compromising meniscal healing or functional results.

Summary: The study demonstrates that transplantation of PTH-treated Achilles tendon promotes meniscal regeneration and preserves knee articular cartilage. The PTH-treated regenerated meniscus shows higher cartilaginous matrix content and better coverage. PTH(1-34) stimulates tendon-derived cells to promote chondrogenic differentiation.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of concomitant lateral meniscal (LM) injuries on ACL revision rate and cartilaginous and meniscal status in patients with ACL injuries. The results show that concomitant LM repair or resection during primary ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is associated with higher risks of meniscal injuries, and LM resection increases the risk of cartilage injuries. Surgeons should be aware of the possibility of concomitant cartilaginous and meniscal injuries in patients with LM injuries.

Summary: Meniscal suturing is the preferred method for treating meniscal tears, especially in younger individuals. The all-inside technique has gained popularity due to shorter operative time and lower risk of adverse events. However, complications such as soft tissue and neurovascular injury can occur. This case report highlights the entrapment of the semimembranosus tendon following all-inside medial meniscal suture. Awareness and prompt treatment of these complications are crucial.

Summary: The study assessed the clinical outcomes of all-inside meniscal repairs in ACL reconstruction, showing good short-term results with 86% cases achieving full or partial healing at MRI. However, one-third of patients developed peri-meniscal cysts.

Summary: This study evaluated the long-term clinical success of meniscal repair performed with a second-generation, all-inside repair device in conjunction with a concurrent ACL reconstruction. The results showed that after a minimum follow-up of 10 years, 84% to 88% of the patients demonstrated successful repair, with medial repairs failing significantly earlier than lateral repairs.

Summary: Treatment of radial tears of the lateral meniscus is challenging, and previous studies have shown low healing rates. Various suture techniques are currently being developed, and biomechanical and clinical studies are underway. Due to the lack of a comprehensive evaluation method, it is necessary to introduce various assessments and consider them in a comprehensive way.

Summary: All-inside meniscus repair demonstrates equal functional outcomes, healing rates, and complications compared to inside-out repair of vertical longitudinal and bucket-handle tears, with the advantages of decreased surgical time and faster post-operative recovery. Furthermore, return-to-sport and activity levels are high following all-inside repair regardless of whether concomitant anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is performed.
