The seven most common tear types\u2014horizontal cleavage tears (HCTs), radial tears (RTs), meniscal ramp lesions (MRLs), meniscal root tears (MRTs), longitudinal tears (LTs), bucket-handle tears (BHMTs), and complex meniscal tears (CMTs)\u2014were reviewed. The present retrospective observational study aimed to analyze their characteristics, incidence, treatment approach and failure rates of a consecutive cohort of patients undergoing meniscal arthroscopic repair. Methods: The database of a high-volume meniscal suture center was examined for lesions managed by all-inside, inside-out, outside-in, or transtibial pull-out techniques from January 2018 to September 2022. Demographic (gender, age at surgery, laterality of the affected knee) and intraoperative data (tear type\/site, repair technique, and suture number\/combination) were collected in order to calculate the failure rates of the cohort and of each tear type and suture technique. Results: Altogether, 636 procedures met our criteria of having at least a 2-year follow-up. The overall failure rate was 1.98%. The most frequent lesions were HCTs (41.98%), with most injuries being in the body\/posterior horn (88.52%) of the right knee (56.92%). Treatment predominantly (92.50%) included all-inside sutures. All-inside repair had the highest failure rate (2.98%), followed by inside-out (1.56%) repair (p = 1.0), whereas outside-in and pull-out techniques never failed. Failure rates by lesion included BHMTs (7.27%), HCTs (2.25%), CMTs (1.49%), and LTs (1.25%); RMT, RML, and MRT repair were always successful. Conclusions: Findings at two years suggest that 1\u20133 all-inside sutures minimize MRL failure, whereas three or more all-inside sutures or combined techniques seem to be effective for HCTs, LTs, and RTs but not BHMTs. Pull-out repair worked best for complete tears\/avulsion types of MRTs, whereas all-inside sutures effectively managed partial lesions. Results for CMTs were inconclusive.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14103350","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,12]],"date-time":"2025-05-12T09:13:38Z","timestamp":1747041218000},"page":"3350","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Saving the Meniscus: A Retrospective Observational Study of the Incidence, Treatment, and Failure Rate of the Main Meniscal Tear Types at 24-Month Follow-Up"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Daniele","family":"Screpis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, IRCCS Ospedale Sacro Cuore Don Calabria, 37024 Negrar di Valpolicella, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5942-2281","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fjorela","family":"Qordja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Orthopaedics, Department of Clinical and Molecular Science, School of Medicine, Universit\u00e0 Politecnica delle Marche, Via Tronto, 10\/a, 60126 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9476-4508","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luca","family":"De Berardinis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedic Department, IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele, Via Olgettina 60, 20132 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gianluca","family":"Piovan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, IRCCS Ospedale Sacro Cuore Don Calabria, 37024 Negrar di Valpolicella, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"Magnanelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, IRCCS Ospedale Sacro Cuore Don Calabria, 37024 Negrar di Valpolicella, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Amarossi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, IRCCS Ospedale Sacro Cuore Don Calabria, 37024 Negrar di Valpolicella, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio Pompilio","family":"Gigante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Orthopaedics, Department of Clinical and Molecular Science, School of Medicine, Universit\u00e0 Politecnica delle Marche, Via Tronto, 10\/a, 60126 Ancona, Italy"},{"name":"IRCCS INRCA Istituto Nazionale di Ricovero e Cura Per Anziani, Via S.
