Transtibial Pull Out Method Versus Suture Anchor Method for Meniscus Extrusion

The Transtibial Pull-Out Repair is a surgical technique used to fix posterior root tears of the meniscus, particularly in the medial meniscus. This method restores the hoop stress mechanism of the meniscus, which is essential for knee stability and function.

The Suture Anchor Technique is an alternative to the Transtibial Pull-Out Method for repairing posterior meniscal root tears, especially in the medial meniscus. Instead of using a tibial tunnel, this technique fixes the meniscal root directly to the native footprint using suture anchors.
