Meniscal tears are among the most common injuries of the knee joint. The average annual incidence is between 60 and 70 cases per 100,000 people. Among young athletes, these injuries account for 20-30% of all knee injuries, while in individuals over 50 they are frequently present even without symptoms (up to 60%). Meniscal tears often coexist with other intra-articular injuries: about one third of all cases occur together with an ACL rupture, which significantly increases the likelihood of a meniscal lesion. Possible treatments range from total meniscectomy, partial or selective meniscectomy, to meniscal suturing. Compared with meniscectomy, meniscal repair preserves meniscal function and reduces the risk of progression to knee osteoarthritis from 51.42% (after meniscectomy) to 21.28% in patients who undergo meniscal repair. The main meniscal suture techniques are classified as inside-ou
