Introduction: all-in meniscal suture devices have evolved and simplified meniscal repair. In this study we will formulate the following research questions: what is the rate of survival and failure? What are the risk factors associated with failure? And what are the functional results after meniscal repair surgery?
Material And Methods: ambispective study from 2001 to 2021 of patients with repairable meniscal injury with all-in meniscal suture devices. The survival and failure ratio were obtained with the Kaplan-Meier test, the risk factors associated with meniscal suture failure were assessed with the logistic regression test, and the pre- and post-surgical functional results were estimated with the test. t-Student.
Results: in 20 years of follow-up of 316 menisci repaired with all-in meniscal sutures, a survival rate of 95.9% was obtained. The absence of injury to the anterior horn of the meniscus was shown to be a protective factor [OR = 0.12], together with not practicing impact sports [OR = 0.2]. Post-surgery IKDC and Tegner-Lysholm results were shown to be very good to excellent (p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: all-in meniscal suture devices are and will continue to be front-line weapons in the repair of meniscal tears. In 20 years of follow-up, a lower failure rate was evidenced, associated with excellent functional results.

Background: Return to sports rate of chronic meniscus repair concurrent with Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction remains unclear, especially there is no well-defined return to sports criteria for evaluation. The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the success rate of chronic locked bucket-handle meniscal tear (BHMT) repair with concomitant ACL reconstruction.
Methods: This study includes 51 chronic ACL injury patients with a locked meniscal tear of at least 6 weeks who underwent surgery.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the short-term and long-term effects of medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOW-HTO) on patients with medial knee joint osteoarthritis, focusing on functional outcomes and complications over a decade.
- A total of 55 patients, predominantly male, were reviewed, revealing significant improvements in functional scores (IKDC and Lysholm) one year post-surgery, with only minor complications observed and no need for major revision surgeries.
- The findings suggest that younger patients (under 40 years old) who undergo surgery tend to achieve better functional outcomes compared to older patients, emphasizing the importance of timing in the surgical intervention.
The Anterolateral Ligament is Not the Whole Story: Reconsidering the Form and Function of the Anterolateral Knee and its Contribution to Rotatory Knee Instability.

The heterogeneity of available cadaveric, histologic, and radiographic results related to the anterolateral ligament (ALL) does not support its existence as a discrete anatomic structure. Moreover, focusing narrowly on the ALL in isolation, what has previously been referred to as "ALL myopia," obscures a thorough appreciation for the stability contributions of both capsular and extracapsular structures. We consider injury to the soft tissues of the anterolateral knee-the anterolateral complex-just one component of what is frequently found to be a spectrum of pathology observed in the rotationally unstable, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knee.

Background: Previous research demonstrated that the attachment of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) to the lateral meniscus is stiffer and stronger in its tibial attachment than its femoral attachment. How this relates to anterolateral knee stability and lateral meniscal function is unknown.
Hypothesis/purpose: The hypothesis was that the ALL acts as a peripheral anchor to the lateral meniscus, aiding in anterolateral rotatory stability, and that the inframeniscal fibers of the ALL will provide greater anterolateral rotatory stability because of their greater tensile properties.
