All-inside repair was attempted when the tears were located in the red-red zone or the ramp area of the meniscus. If a tear that was in the ramp area or red-red zone extended to the midbody of the meniscus, or if there was a tear in red-white zone, the inside-out repair technique was used. Fourteen patients had all-inside meniscal repairs, and 34 patients had inside-out meniscal repairs with absorbable sutures. Identical postoperative rehabilitation protocols were used. Postoperative evaluations included Lysholm knee scoring scale, Tegner activity levels, Lachman and pivot-shift tests, and KT-1000 arthrometer. Assessment of meniscal status was performed using joint line tenderness, McMurray test, and range of motion. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging scans were obtained on all patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Mean follow-up was 35.7 months. No patient had joint line tenderness or reported pain or clicking on McMurray test. There was no significant difference in range of motion between groups. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging scans demonstrated that 10 (71.4%) menisci were healed and 4 (28.6%) partially healed in the all-inside group; 24 (70.6%) menisci were healed and 10 (29.4%) partially healed in the inside-out group. There was no significant difference in meniscal healing between groups. There were no differences in Lachman test, KT-1000 arthrometer side-to-side differences measurements, Lysholm scores, and Tegner activity scales. There was a significant difference in pivot-shift test between groups ( P = .023). There were 2 complications associated with surgery. In the inside-out group, 1 patient required manipulation, and 2 patients had limited motion at final follow-up. Two patients in the inside-out group experienced transient saphenous nerve injury.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n There was no significant difference in meniscal healing between inside-out and all-inside repair techniques in combination with anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546509339010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,14]],"date-time":"2009-08-14T21:55:30Z","timestamp":1250286930000},"page":"2144-2150","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":71,"title":["Comparison of Arthroscopic Medial Meniscal Suture Repair Techniques"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Nam-Hong","family":"Choi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Eulji Medical Center, Seoul, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tae-Hyung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Eulji Medical Center, Seoul, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brian N.","family":"Victoroff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"b1-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2007.04.017"},{"key":"b2-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-8063(04)00656-5"},{"key":"b3-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/jars.2000.7672"},{"key":"b4-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2008.02.008"},{"key":"b5-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465990270051401"},{"key":"b6-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546506298582"},{"key":"b7-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465000280021801"},{"key":"b8-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2006-957176"},{"key":"b9-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-006-0094-x"},{"key":"b10-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2004.09.013"},{"key":"b11-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2008.03.003"},{"key":"b12-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2005.10.017"},{"key":"b13-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546508314411"},{"key":"b14-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2005.06.002"},{"key":"b15-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BLO.0b013e31802ff806"},{"key":"b16-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.2291020988"},{"key":"b17-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0749-8063(91)90093-D"},{"key":"b18-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546505286143"},{"key":"b19-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465020300040801"},{"key":"b20-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/jars.2001.7800"},{"key":"b21-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465030310063101"},{"key":"b22-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0749-8063(90)90001-T"},{"key":"b23-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465980260031901"},{"key":"b24-0372144","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.2222010396"}],"container-title":["The American Journal of Sports Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0363546509339010","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0363546509339010","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0363546509339010","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T09:39:37Z","timestamp":1777369177000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0363546509339010"}},"subtitle":["Inside-Out Versus All-Inside Repair"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,14]]},"references-count":24,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2009,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0363546509339010"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0363546509339010","relation":{},"ISSN":["0363-5465","1552-3365"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0363-5465","type":"print"},{"value":"1552-3365","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,14]]}}}
