Product

The Meniscus Repair and Resection Instrument Set contains Arthrex’s most popular instruments to address various meniscus procedures including meniscal root repair, all-suture meniscus repair, or meniscus contouring. For protection, the instruments are held securely within the slotted silicone pads. A removable shelf uncovers an open area for placement of additional instrumentation.

Procedure

Meniscal root avulsions are a challenging injury causing meniscal extrusion and loss of hoop stress distribution, which can lead to the development of knee arthritis.1 Arthrex offers multiple implant systems for meniscal root repair.&nbsp;
The SutureLoc™ implant allows for direct tibial fixation of the meniscal root. The 2.4 mm cannulated drill pin leaves more bone intact while delivering the SutureLasso™ wire directly to the footprint of the meniscal root. Once the anchor has been passed, the 2 repair sutures can be passed through the tissue in a variety of stitch patterns. The knotless implant is retensionable, allowing surgeons to dial in their repair. Traditional transtibial implant systems using a FlipCutter® II reamer and multiple fixation options are also available.
A complete system for meniscal root repair includes the meniscal root marking hooks and the Knee Scorpion™ suture passer. Two meniscal root marking hooks are available, so surgeons can choose their preferred hook.&nbsp;
The point-to-point guide allows surgeons to directly target their drill location at the meniscal root footprint, while the over-the-back marking hook sits securely over the back of the tibia to allow stable drilling tunnel preparation. Use the low-profile Knee Scorpion suture passer to simplify suture passing in tight recesses of the knee.

Meniscal Root Repair

A knotless all-suture anchor, the SutureLoc implant is specifically designed for joint-line fixation of the meniscal root. This revolutionary anchor eliminates the need for a posterior medial portal, which is commonly used in direct tibial fixation techniques, making the repair more reproducible. The 2.4 mm cannulated drill pin leaves more bone intact while delivering the SutureLasso™ wire directly to the footprint of the meniscal root. Once the anchor has been passed, the 2 repair sutures can be passed through the tissue in a variety of stitch patterns. The knotless implant is retensionable, allowing surgeons to dial in their repair.
Features and Benefits
<ul>
 <li>Double-loaded knotless mechanism allows for 2 repair stitches with only 1 anchor pass, reducing steps from previous techniques</li>
 <li>Soft, all-suture implant</li>

Soft-tissue meniscal allograft transplantation techniques continue to evolve with the advancement of fixation devices. Using common meniscal repair devices allows for greater flexibility while ensuring anatomic graft placement. Soft–tissue-only meniscal allograft surgical techniques and clinical outcomes are well documented and have good clinical efficacy.1-4
