Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2014 Feb;22(2):263-7. doi: 10.1007/s00167-013-2363-9. Epub 2013 Jan 18.

Abstract

We present an arthroscopically-assisted single-incision technique using all-inside sutures with a suture hook in the lateral meniscus allograft transplantation. Although this technique is technically demanding, it provides vertically oriented and secure sutures with good tissue approximation without the accessory skin incision.
