Objective: The surgical goal is the arthroscopically assisted, closed reduction, and suture osteosynthesis of fractures of the tibial eminence in children and adolescents.
Indications: Fractures of the tibial eminence type (II)-III according to Meyers & McKeever or type IV according to Zaricznyj.
Contraindications: Fracture of the tibial eminence type I, conservatively treatable fracture type II according to Meyers & McKeever and ligamentous rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament.

Lateral meniscus hypermobility is a special condition in which the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus exhibits excessive mobility. This condition can cause pain and locking in the knee, especially during kneeling, deep flexion, or squatting. In this article, we present a surgical technique for the reinsertion of the posterior root of the external meniscus in cases of hypermobility without detachment.

Lateral meniscus posterior root tears (LMPRTs) are estimated to occur in 7% to 12% of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injured knees. This topic is of great interest because of their biomechanical consequences in terms of interruption of hoop stress distribution. If left unrepaired, the corresponding compartment is exposed to unfavorable contact dynamics, similar to those resulting from a total meniscectomy.

Purpose: To compare biomechanical behaviour of the anterior root of the lateral meniscus (ARLM) after a transtibial repair (TTR) and after an in situ repair (ISR), discussing the reasons for the efficacy of the more advantageous technique.
Methods: Eight cadaveric human knees were tested at flexion angles from 0° to 90° in four conditions of their ARLM: intact, detached, reinserted using TTR, and reinserted using ISR. Specimens were subjected to 1000 N of compression, and the contact area (CA), mean pressure (MP), and peak pressure (PP) on the tibial cartilage were computed.

The anatomy of the lateral meniscus underlies the understanding of its unique biomechanics. Moreover, the knowledge of its microscopic structure, its vascularization and its ligament insertions can make us understand the rationale for its surgical treatment. It is well known as the respect of the anatomy leads to better results in reconstructive surgery.
