This demanding life\u2010style forces the surgeon to perform less radical surgery for meniscal ruptures, thus avoiding the early degenerative changes which frequently occur in totally or partially meniscectomized knees. When repair is possible, meniscal suture must be considered. Various arthroscopic techniques of meniscus suturing have been reported. \u201cInside\u2010out,\u201d\u201coutside\u2010in,\u201d and more recently \u201call\u2010inside\u201d techniques can be used. Complications include saphenous and peroneal nerve damage and vascular lesions. The Biofix arrow fixation technique, which is an all\u2010inside procedure, is easier and in our hands less time\u2010consuming than other arthroscopic suturing techniques. Postoperatively, partial weight bearing is prescribed for 3 weeks. Progressive return to sport activity is allowed after \u00b63\u00a0months. Twenty\u2010five patients \u00b6(26\u00a0meniscal repairs) with a mean age of 31.6 years (13\u201357) were \u00b6reviewed. Follow\u2010up averaged \u00b616.7\u00a0months (12\u201322). The evaluation was based on the modified Marshall knee score. Three patients had an extra\u2010articular reconstruction for anterior cruciate ligament deficiency, and five had an arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with a ligament allograft. The results were excellent or good in 22 patients (88% \u201csatisfactory\u201d outcome). Three patients had poor results. One patient with a new trauma presented a lateral meniscal lesion associated with an ACL rupture. The Biofix arrow fixation technique allows safe fixation of meniscal ruptures, specifically of posterior horn lesions where injury of neurovascular structures is not uncommon.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s001670050010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,10,6]],"date-time":"2002-10-06T08:52:06Z","timestamp":1033894326000},"page":"46-52","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["Biofix resorbable meniscus arrow for meniscal ruptures: results of a 1\u2010year follow\u2010up"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"C.","family":"H\u00fcrel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology Gent University Hospital De Pintelaan 185 9000 Gent Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"Mertens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology Gent University Hospital De Pintelaan 185 9000 Gent Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Verdonk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology Gent University Hospital De Pintelaan 185 9000 Gent Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,1]]},"container-title":["Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/content\/pdf\/10.1007\/s001670050010.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s001670050010\/fulltext.html","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1007\/s001670050010","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,19]],"date-time":"2025-10-19T12:15:16Z","timestamp":1760876116000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1007\/s001670050010"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2000,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2000,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1007\/s001670050010"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s001670050010","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0942-2056","1433-7347"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0942-2056","type":"print"},{"value":"1433-7347","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2000,1]]}}}
