The all-inside meniscal suture technique using new instruments.
The all-inside meniscal suture was performed by using new arthroscopic instruments with a soft and fine (4-0 gauge) polyfilament thread that yielded relatively small knots so as to be innocuous to articular cartilage. No neurovascular injury, infection, or any other complication had occurred intraoperatively and postoperatively in this technique.
