Kamiya et al. [20] | Direct visualization of disruption of PMF. Forward translation by probing intact lateral meniscus | Inside-out arthroscopic repair | Polyester non-absorbable sutures on a 10-inch straight and/or curved cutting needle (Stryker). An average of 5.0 (range, 2–8) double-stacked vertical suture were used. | Isolated PMFs |
Simonetta et al. [18] | Direct visualization of disruption of PMF. Forward translation by probing intact lateral meniscus | All-inside arthroscopic repair | Fastfix meniscal repair system (Smith & Nephew) Two to three sutures are placed on either side of the popliteal hiatus, in a vertical fashion | 4/6 chondral lesions LFC |
LaPrade et al. [30] | Direct visualization of disruption of PMF. Forward translation by probing intact lateral meniscus | Open repair | horizontal mattress non-absorbable 0 sutures | Isolated PMFs |
