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.
Treatment of radial tears of the lateral meniscus is challenging. Previous studies after repairing radial tears showed low healing rates. Various suture techniques are now being developed, and biomechanical and clinical studies using these new techniques are underway. Amid development, the all-inside double vertical cross-suture technique seemed to be effective. However, limited evaluations after meniscal repair might not fully reveal whether the repaired meniscus can maintain its function. Because the best single method that can completely evaluate meniscal healing and its function after repair is still lacking, we should introduce various assessments and consider them in a comprehensive way.
