AOSSM Specialty Day 2023 with ISAKOS with CME-3. AOSSM-ISAKOS - Session VII

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the comparison of different meniscus repair techniques, specifically focusing on all soft suture anchors and comparing them to peak and inside-out methods. The speaker presents various clinical data and systematic reviews that show no significant difference in failure rates or patient-reported outcomes between the techniques. However, there may be higher complications and nerve irritation with inside-out repairs due to the surgical approach. The biomechanics of all inside repair are also discussed, highlighting higher failure load and less gapping compared to inside-out techniques. The study conducted on human cadaver knees concludes that the all soft suture anchors have comparable biomechanical properties to peak anchors, with the jugger stitch all inside device showing higher failure loads.
