This is a bad bucket handle medial meniscus tear in a teenage male basketball player. Note how displaced and unstable the meniscus tear is. Repair is shown that first utilizes an outside-in approach on the body of the meniscus. The repair is then completed with the use of Smith Nephew FastFix all-inside anchors for the posterior horn. Finally bone marrow vents are created in the notch to allow blood and bone marrow to carry important healing factors and stem cells to the repaired cartilage. This is important since an ACL reconstruction was not necessary.
