Inside-Out Suturing Technique Repairs of the medial meniscus will be carried out with the knee in 10-30° flexion. This allows both preservation of the posterior capsular recess and full knee extension once the repair is complete. A vertical incision is made posterior to the medial collateral ligament. The deep fascia is incised and the posteromedial capsule visualized. The lateral meniscus is repaired through a vertical incision posterior to the lateral collateral ligament made with the knee flexed 90°. The iliotibial band is split in line with its fibers at the level of the joint line. The biceps femoris and lateral gastrocnemius tendon are retracted posteriorly, protecting the common peroneal nerve and exposing the capsule and popliteus tendon. Vertical sutures will be placed in at 5mm intervals along the tear. Sutures are tied over the capsule once ligamentous reconstruction, if necessary, is completed. This is done with the knee in full extension.
