## Abstract

Throughout the last few decades, the evolution of the surgical treatment of meniscal injuries has been remarkable, especially since a deeper understanding of the meniscus functions has come to light. This evolution resulted in a trend towards more conservative surgical approaches, focusing on preserving the meniscal anatomy as close as possible to the native status. Such a trend has led to a preference for meniscal repair procedures, which represents a significant change from previous practices. This transformation reflects the ongoing commitment to optimize the clinical and functional outcomes for patients with meniscal injuries.
