Abstract
Radial meniscus tears occur commonly as traumatic tears in younger patients, as well as in association with concomitant degenerative changes. Traditional management of these tears has centered around partial meniscectomy; however, there has been a more recent trend toward preserving the meniscus and attempting repair. Because of the gapping and displacement that frequently occurs with these tears, repair is often challenging and is done under high amounts of tension. The following article describes a technique using a traction suture to aid in maintaining reduction throughout repair. This is followed by the use of a combination of techniques to form a "super-hashtag" configuration of both vertical and horizontal mattress sutures, leading to a secure repair under little tension.
