Visualization and Reduction of a Meniscal Capsular Junction Tear in the Knee: An Arthroscopic Surgical Technique

There is a vast amount of literature about the meniscus, but there are few current studies on the specific entity of MCJ tears. We think these tears act similarly to posterior meniscus tears and should be addressed similarly. MCJ tears are easily missed on anterior arthroscopy. In every knee arthroscopy, the posterior aspect of the knee should be checked for these injuries, particularly in ACL-deficient knees. A lesion found within the capsule can be repaired with the technique we have described.
