Second-Generation Meniscal Repair Systems as Effective as First Generation

Summary

Second-generation suture-based devices for meniscal repair appear to have overcome some of the complications associated with first-generation all-inside designs, but there have been no outcome studies of these second-generation systems beyond 3 years. This article discusses the results of a retrospective review of 83 consecutive meniscus repairs (either isolated or combined with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction [ACLR]), which reported an 84% success rate with a second-generation all-inside repair system at a minimum of a 5-year follow-up.
