Repair of complete radial meniscus tear is necessary for the meniscus functions. The most important factor for success of the meniscus repair is primary stability, but it is still unknown which technique is ideal repair technique.\nAim\nWe developed a new suture technique named Horizontal Butterfly (HB). In this novel technique the contact between meniscal tissue and suture is more than Horizontal Loop (HL) that routinely used today. So, we think that this technique will provide better fixation than HL. We aimed to compare 2 repair techniques (HB vs. HL) using human lateral menisci biomechanically with cyclic loading and load to failure tests.\nMaterial-method\nWe used 22 intact lateral meniscus obtained from patients that operated (total knee replacement) for varus gonarthrosis in our clinic. All menisci were cut radially. In the first group (n:11) menisci were repaired with standard horizontal loop technique, and in the second group (n:11) horizontal butterfly technique were used for repair. All specimens were tested with load to failure test after cyclic loading test (500 cycle X 5\u201330 N).\nResults\nBoth groups have similar failure load (71,4 \u00b1 17,52 N vs. 77,9 \u00b1 28,49 N; p:0,559) and stiffness (24,46 \u00b1 19,19 N vs. 24,48 \u00b1 15,87 N; p:0,818). HB group has less peak displacement (6,26 \u00b1 1,24 mm vs. 8,4 \u00b1 1,92 mm; p:0,010).\nConclusion\nThis novel repair technique decreases the amount of displacement according to standard technique while as strong as standard technique routinely used. In this way; we believe that it will increase the rate of healing in clinical use.\nER -<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aott.2018.07.002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,16]],"date-time":"2018-08-16T10:14:24Z","timestamp":1534414464000},"page":"392-396","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["\u201cHorizontal butterfly\u201d technique in repair of radial meniscus tears: A\u00a0biomechanical study"],"prefix":"10.5152","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Murat","family":"A\u015e\u00c7\u0130","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Orhan","family":"BALTA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Recep","family":"KURNAZ","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mehmet","family":"Burta\u00e7 EREN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yunus","family":"Emre KUYUCU","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Taner","family":"G\u00dcNE\u015e","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3111","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,6]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2018.07.002_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"109","DOI":"10.1002\/jor.1100180116","article-title":"Importance of the medial meniscus in the anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knee","volume":"18","author":"Allen","year":"2000","journal-title":"J\u00a0Orthop Res"},{"issue":"5","key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2018.07.002_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"666","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.66B5.6548755","article-title":"Late degenerative changes after meniscectomy.
