Over the past 15 years, there has been a shift toward meniscus preservation even for previously believed irreparable patterns like bucket handle, radial, meniscus root, vertical, and horizontal cleavage tears (HCTs). HCTs are a common tear pattern, especially as we age, and are estimated to occur in 23% to 32% of meniscus tears. They occur in both males and females, are more common on the medial than the lateral side, and most often occur with minor to normal trauma in an anterior cruciate ligament intact knee.

Treatment of meniscus injuries has evolved from open to arthroscopic, from total to partial meniscectomy, and ultimately towards meniscus preservation. In theory, almost all tear types can be repaired, including root tears, (oblique) radial tears, horizontal cleavage tears, vertical tears, and even complex tears, as a result of improved surgical techniques and tools. Meniscus repair outcomes literature may be confounded by the lack of inclusion of control groups, as well as concomitant anterior cruciate ligament injury and reconstruction, augmentation with fibrin clot or platelet-rich plasma or other biologics, suture configuration, and timing of repair.
