In recent years there has been increased attention on preserving the menisci because they perform vital roles in maintaining knee joint homeostasis. The anterolateral (AL) meniscal root is particularly vulnerable during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. When the AL root is iatrogenically injured, it is imperative that it is repaired in a timely fashion to prevent early-onset osteoarthritis. In this article we outline our knotless suture anchor repair for AL root tears.

Assessment of a novel unidirectional mid-term absorbable barbed suture versus a competitor barbed suture for vaginal cuff closure after gynaecology surgery, study protocol of a randomized controlled trial - BARHYSTER.

Background: Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is nowadays the standard to treat benign and malignant disease occurring in the uterus, but the number of robotic-assisted surgeries is increasing worldwide. To facilitate the handling of sutures in a bi- and tri-dimensional plane, a new type of suture material has been developed, named barbed sutures, which are in use in different indications. In comparison to conventional suture materials, the barbs anchor the suture in the tissue, provide tissue approximation and prevent slippage without the need for knot tying.

Tenodesis of the long head of biceps is a common shoulder surgical procedure. Tenodesis can be performed either arthroscopically or open and within the glenohumeral joint, within the bicipital groove, or below the pectoralis major tendon insertion. Arthroscopic tenodesis of the biceps tendon reduces the risk of infection.

Direct repair of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries with suture augmentation has been successful in properly selected patients lacking chronic attritional wear of the medial elbow. Described is a Speed-Fix technique for direct UCL repair using SutureTape, with Brace augmentation. The Speed-Fix repair technique uses an inverted mattress knotless repair with a knotless SwiveLock anchor and FiberTape suture, which allows for theoretical compression at the repair site.

Remplissage is a procedure that decreases the rate of recurrent instability after arthroscopic stabilization in patients with an engaging Hill-Sachs lesion. This technique involves capsulotenodesis of the infraspinatus tendon and posterior capsule into the Hill-Sachs lesion using 2 knotless anchors with suture passage through the infraspinatus tendon guided by a percutaneous needle. Previously described techniques use knots or anchor placement through the infraspinatus, which can be challenging to control and irreversible if tendon penetration occurs in an undesirable location.
