# Suture Sliding Technique for Arthroscopic Matrix-based Meniscus Repair

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a new surgical technique for repairing damaged meniscus tissue using a sliding matrix insertion method during arthroscopic procedures.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is a suture sliding technique for inserting a collagen-based matrix during meniscus repair.

## Key findings

- The technique allows for precise matrix placement during arthroscopic meniscus repair.
- It aims to improve healing by enhancing biological support in complex meniscal tears.

## Abstract

Complex meniscal tears associated with poor meniscal quality can be challenging to repair. A robust repair configuration is required for a successful repair. Blood supply and adequate biology are also important factors to improve healing rates. Biological augmentation of a meniscus repair can be performed via orthobiologics or collagen-based matrices. The aim of this Technical Note is to describe a surgical technique of matrix insertion by sliding the matrix down sutures during arthroscopic matrix-based meniscus repair.
