Fibrine Clot-augmented Repair of Longitudinal Meniscus Tears

The fibrin clot will be prepared from 50cc of bone marrow aspirate obtained from the iliac crest and mixed for 15 minutes. The fibrin clot will be shaped into a cylindrical form and compressed between the torn edges of the meniscus using a trocar system, then secured with sutures.

Patients in the standard repair group will undergo routine meniscus repair surgery using arthroscopic all-inside or inside-out sutures.
