An Arthroscopic-Assisted Radial Meniscal Tear Repair Using Reinforced Suture Tape Rebars and Suture Tapes.

A radial tear of the meniscus can lead to significant loss of meniscus function, resulting in deleterious cartilage changes. Repair of radial meniscus tears has several challenges, including suture pull-out, which can reduce healing success. We present an arthroscopic repair technique in a complete radial lateral meniscus tear using vertical reinforced bars (rebar) of suture tapes to reduce suture pull-out and approximate the radial tear.
