A new technique for arthroscopic resection of a bucket handle tear.

The authors present a previously undescribed technique for excision of a bucket handle tear. The technique uses a Caspari suture punch to pass a suture through the meniscus and use the suture as a tool to maneuver the meniscus so that its posterior horn attachment can be cut. The technique is noteworthy in that it eliminates the need for establishing an additional portal.
