Meniscus Tear: Preserving Structure. Restoring Function.
The meniscus plays a central role in stability, shock absorption, and load distribution in the knee joint. If tears occur due to trauma or degeneration, this leads not only to pain but also to overloading of the articular cartilage.
Depending on the tear’s shape, location, and tissue quality, two strategies are prioritized: preservation through suturing when biomechanical conditions are appropriate, or controlled resection when irreparable tissue is causing symptoms.
In both cases, the goal is to restore natural joint mechanics as much as possible and reduce the progression of osteoarthritis.

Meniscal Suture
Preserving what protects
Modern meniscus suture systems, such as BioChinch (Inside-Out) and BioChinch A12 (All-Inside) solutions, enable stable, anatomical reconstruction using high-strength UHMWPE sutures/tapes and precise guide sleeves.
They ensure structural preservation and utilize flexible, minimally invasive instruments to reliably restore natural load distribution
Meniscus Resection
Remove what causes problems - preserve what supports
For partial meniscus resection, the proven Arthroline punches, matched meniscus rasps, and high-performance shaver systems are available to remove unstable tissue in a controlled manner.
This maximally preserves the functionally load-bearing meniscus tissue and precisely harmonizes joint mechanics.
