The menisci play a vital role in knee joint stability, load distribution, and lubrication, protecting the joint surfaces from degenerative change. Meniscal repair protects the joint from increased loading and when successful reduces progression of osteoarthritis. Successful repair involves accurate surgical techniques, guarded postoperative rehabilitation, and potential use of additional biologics to promote healing. An integrated approach to meniscal surgery is required as part of an overall strategy to preserve and restore knee function, preserving meniscal tissue whenever possible. This article reviews the repair techniques: procedures, indications, and rehabilitation for meniscal repair.
