Abstract
Concomitant meniscal injuries are common in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insufficiency. Along with ACL reconstruction, meniscal repair offers better outcomes. This requires multiple incisions for both procedures. We present a novel technique of medial meniscus inside out repair using only the tibial tunnel wound without making an additional posteromedial incision. This is the first such description of this novel technique in a 21 year old male who underwent ACL reconstruction along with bucket handle medial meniscal repair.Entities:
