Most suture configurations are placed five mm away from the tornmargin in the meniscal substance which is already degenerated and may decrease the pull out strengths of repairconstruct. The number of meniscus penetration may also be important considering meniscus tissue damage with morecomplex suture techniques impose the risk of suture cut out through the meniscus substance.We introduce our loop postsuture construct technique which is simple, cheap and reproducible.Level of evidence: V UR - https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_16116.html L1 - https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_16116_2878750d3e0ae9fc532c2d12ef3e481d.pdf ER -
