    AbstractArthroscopic meniscal repair is a promising new technique for treating peripheral meniscal tears. With proper attention to surgical technique, the repair can be safely performed by any surgeon with moderate arthroscopic skills. We recommend that in all cases the capsule be exposed through a small incision to identify and protect the neurovascular structures. When an associated ACL tear is present, ligamentous reconstruction is also recommended. Although we currently limit our repairs to peripheral tears, newer techniques may expand indications for this procedure.
