Abstract

Repair or resection of meniscal injuries is one of the most common operative procedures in orthopedics today. A variety of techniques for reconstruction have been attempted and experts are still unsure which treatment of meniscal lesions is best. This article reviews different techniques of meniscal repair and some novel approaches that may be used for treatment of meniscal lesions in the coming years.
