Meniscal repair continues to be an important procedure in patients with meniscal tears. The orthopedic literature has recommended excision of complex tears or tears that are located in the central avascular region. For the past 13 years, the authors have repaired all meniscal tears that can be reduced anatomically and that have healthy tissue that will support the multiple sutures required for a stable repair, regardless of tear pattern or location. Correct patient selection criteria continue to be important. In all cases, the risks of complications and retear must be considered carefully and judged against the potential benefits of repair. A postoperative rehabilitation program that allows early range of motion, and progression of weight bearing is not detrimental to the healing process if the repair is stable. Close postoperative follow-up examinations are necessary to determine the incidence of meniscal symptoms; however, the absence of joint line pain, catching, locking, or effusion does not guarantee complete healing of the tear. Follow-up arthroscopy is currently the most accurate method to determine if complete or partial healing has occurred.
