Meniscal suture using an arthroscopic route is a safe method with an extremely low percentage of failure and complications. The two techniques most commonly used (from inside to outside and from outside to inside) are similar. The introduction of the needle as far as possible from neurovascular structures makes the outside-inside technique less risky. In the event of associated rupture of LCA ligament reconstruction must always be performed as well as the repair of the meniscus. Isokinetic evaluation has confirmed the rapidity of functional recovery times.
