Description
Shuang Yang and co-authors compare three arthroscopic stitching methods for a torn knee meniscus in a 2025 study. The tear sat in a tricky zone near a tendon passage, in the meniscus's well-supplied outer bands. All-inside repair avoids extra incisions, and the study asks whether combining two devices beats either alone.
Seventy-two patients were split evenly among a combined method, a suture device alone, and a suture hook alone. Knee scores and motion were tracked for a year, with MRI checks of healing after six months. The combined group improved clearly at both six and twelve months, with function scores climbing steeply from their start. No major complications arose. The authors favor the combined technique for this tear zone.
