In the first stage, all-inside meniscus repair was performed using suture hook passers and non-absorbable sutures. In total, there were 26 medial and 16 lateral meniscus tears. A second-stage ACL reconstruction, performed six to eight weeks later, served as an early second-look arthroscopic evaluation of meniscal healing. Clinical follow-up was performed at a minimum of 24 months.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Second-look arthroscopy revealed 31 cases (75.6%) of complete and ten cases (24.4%) of incomplete meniscal healing. Two patients were lost prior to follow-up, and three were excluded due to recurrent instability. Therefore, 36 patients were assessed at the final follow-up. All patients with complete meniscal healing during second-look arthroscopy achieved clinical success at follow-up. Six out of nine (66.7%) of patients with incomplete meniscal healing during second-look arthroscopy achieved clinical success at follow-up (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.012).
