Injuries to the meniscus of the knee are one of the most common, especially among young people involved in sports activities. Meniscectomy as a method of surgical treatment has many negative consequences, one of which is the development of degenerative processes with subsequent violation of the functional active knee joint. The introduction of arthroscopy in clinical practice contributes to an increase in the number of organ-preserving meniscus operations with the development of various suturing techniques, each of which has certain advantages and disadvantages. Currently, special attention is paid to the “all inside” joint technique using modern fixatives. In addition, this method can be used simultaneously with plastic surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament (PCS), which improves the long-term results of treatment.
