No risk of iatrogenic peroneal nerve injury in all-inside lateral meniscal repair with either 14- or 18-mm needles through the popliteus tendon in the standard arthroscopic knee conditions

Abstract: PurposeThe objectives of this prospective study were to evaluate the risk of peroneal nerve (PN) injury in simulated allinside lateral meniscal repair with sutures placed through the popliteus tendon (PT) and to determine the optimal needle length. Methods Twenty-nine axial magnetic resonance images (MRI) of postoperative knees with infused intra-articular luid and in a igure-of-four position were used. The cross-sectional length of the PT was divided into four equal parts with measurements performed at the 25… Show more

“…Axial oblique MRI scans passing through the center of the lateral meniscal tissue were used for the study measurements, with the medial border of the patella chosen as the position of the anteromedial portal and the lateral border of the patella chosen as the anterolateral portal. The risk of iatrogenic peroneal nerve injury was evaluated by drawing a direct line from the anteromedial or anterolateral portal to the medial or lateral border of the popliteus tendon, extending 14 mm beyond the joint capsule, following the recommendations from earlier studies 9,15,16 . The shortest distance was measured from the direct line to the outer border of the peroneal nerve (Fig.…”
