Meniscal preservation is central to modern knee surgery. Loss of meniscal tissue alters biomechanics, increases contact stress, and leads to post-meniscectomy syndrome (PMS). This article integrates pathology-based repair strategies with Auxein’s meniscal repair portfolio and evidence-based restoration approaches including scaffolds, transplantation, and high tibial osteotomy.
The meniscus is essential for load distribution, shock absorption, joint stability, and lubrication. Meniscectomy reduces contact area and increases peak contact stress, accelerating cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis progression.
Treatment depends on tear morphology and vascularity. Red-red zone tears have high healing potential due to rich vascularity, red-white zone tears have moderate healing capacity, while white-white zone tears have poor healing potential due to avascularity.
All-Inside Repair Technique:
Used for posterior horn and vertical tears. Minimally invasive and highly efficient.
Auxein Solution: MENI-FIX® All-Inside System featuring 2 PEEK anchors with #2-0 UHMWPE BioBraid sutures, adjustable penetration depth, and multiple angled needle configurations for precise delivery.
Needle Options: Straight,15° Curved, 15° Reverse Curved, 20° Curved, 27° Curved
Inside-Out Repair Technique: Gold standard for complex, bucket-handle, and mid-body tears with superior fixation strength.
Auxein Solution: AUXILOCK® Menisco Inside-Out System with controlled suture delivery, cannula guidance, and enhanced fixation strength.
Meniscal Root Repair: Critical for restoring hoop stress in radial/root tears. Untreated root tears biomechanically mimic total meniscectomy. Auxein Solution: Meniscus Root Marking Hook with 360° rotation and BioBraid loop for anatomical fixation and stability.

PMS is characterized by persistent pain, swelling, and functional limitation due to increased joint stress and cartilage degeneration following meniscal loss.
Osteotomy corrects malalignment and is essential in cases of compartment overload. Combined procedures improve long-term outcomes.
Meniscal preservation is essential for long-term joint health. Integration of advanced repair techniques with Auxein’s solutions enables restoration of biomechanics and prevention of PMS. A comprehensive approach combining repair, restoration, and mechanical correction ensures optimal patient outcomes.
