Abstract

Preservation of the meniscus in bucket handle medial meniscal tears (BHMMTs) and posterior meniscocapsular (ramp) lesions is challenging. Current efforts are being made in the scientific community to (1) introduce new ways of gaining easier and better field of view over the repair site and (2) increase the chance of meniscal healing through effective augmentation procedures. The current note introduces a way to achieve good exposure of posterior knee compartments and proposes an augmentation technique that involves exposing the local non-articulating subchondral cancellous bone and making in situ clots. © 2022
