Figure 1 Two-years postoperative magnetic resonance imaging classified as “not healed”.
This asymptomatic patient was treated with a bucket handle tears suture associated with Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. A: Axial plane showing a more than 2 mm gap; B: Same gap in the coronal plane; C: The posterior horn in the sagittal plane shows a gap less than 1mm wide in the meniscus; D: The transversal line in the posterior horn of the meniscus pointed by the arrows is the suture crossing from anterior to posterior.
Figure 2 Second look arthroscopy and postoperative magnetic resonance imaging.
A: Shows a second look arthroscopy 1 year after posterior horn meniscus repair; B: The < 1 mm gap classified as “healed” in the magnetic resonance is confirmed in the arthroscopy with a fibrous stable scar. FC: femoral condyle, M: Meniscus, T: Tibia.
Figure 3 Arthroscopic view of repaired bucket handle tear.
A: Shows a bucket handle tear repaired in 2012 using 3 PDS stitches with an outside-in technique; B and C: Show a bucket handle tear repaired in 2016 using 10 inside-out and 2 all-inside 2-0 nonabsorbable high resistant sutures.
