title: Arthroscopic resection for the unstable inferior leaf of anterior horn in the horizontal tear of a lateral meniscus.
abstract: The unstable inferior leaf of the anterior horn in the horizontal tear of the lateral meniscus is a challenging lesion to the arthroscopist. However, there are no devices for it and no proper procedures are introduced. We describe a new arthroscopic technique of partial meniscectomy by using three portals. This technique uses a unique portal, extreme far anteromedially.
