[Suture of the meniscus in acute instability of the knee joint].
The authors describe a multiform function of the menisci and the causes of frequently occurring simultaneous injuries of the meniscus and of the ligament. In 26 cases of acute instability of the knee the authors put sutures over the meniscus. In all the cases the results were good, there were no complications and there was no need to make a repeated operation in any of the cases. Making use of the suture over the meniscus, it is possible to improve the results of the surgical treatment of instability of the knee to a greater extent.
