I have a surgeon that states he did a lateral meniscectomy as well as a lateral meniscal repair. Can this be done? Please see OP note:
There was a bucket-handle fragment peripherally of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. This was gently
debrided using an arthroscopic shaver and a biter. There was a full-thickness horizontal cleavage tear of
the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Considering the patient was only 25 years of age and that this
tear went all the way to the periphery where there was good bleeding and the fact that we were doing an
ACL reconstruction in combination with it, I decided to repair the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus.
Any assistance is appreciated.
