Purpose:
To review contemporary meniscus repair strategies and summarize their long-term outcomes.
Summary:
Outcomes of meniscus repair are favorable at 10 years post-operative regardless of technique.
Key Takeaways:
• This review covers repair techniques across meniscus tear patterns and highlights what is known about durability over time.
• It reinforces the preservation-first principle by showing why repair should be pursued whenever tissue quality and tear morphology allow.
• The paper also provides useful context for when restoration or transplantation may become relevant after irreparable loss.\
