The loss of the meniscus can be regarded as a pre-arthritic condition for the knee due to the loss of protective function. However, the tear pattern has a crucial impact on that risk, and it became obvious that the differentiation of tear types and repair techniques has resulted in significant progress over the last few years.

Numerous advanced techniques for meniscal repair are being performed, regardless of the site of the tear . There is no place in the knee that cannot be reached by the arthroscope. However, some of the repair techniques are in the early stages of development and require

further improvement to reach global acceptance . They appear very promising, as many surgeons have adopted them in a short period of time.

Meniscus repair is gaining in popularity among an increasing number of surgeons. A better understanding, more sophisticated devices for meniscus repair

and the increasing success rate might be some of the explanations. The increasing popularity of meniscus repair also includes meniscus lesions, which are associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. At several European centres, meniscal repair procedures are now being performed in up to 40–60 % of all ACL reconstructions. In addition, these repairs are being extended increasingly to an athletic population and even professional

athletes and football players. The medial meniscus in particular is becoming the focus of attention. As the main secondary stabiliser in anteroposterior laxity after an ACL injury, it is well known that this structure plays an important role in the long-term development of osteoarthritis and, as shown recently by Robb et al, its absence negatively affects the fate of ACL graft survival. These are the reasons why efforts have recently been made to increase our understanding of medial meniscus tears , to rediscover certain types of injury like the meniscus synovial or ramp lesions and to improve long-existing repair techniques.

Another new development in meniscal repair relates to root tears, which have moved into focus over the last 5–10 years. Unknown a decade ago,they are attracting extraordinary attention nowadays, from both a clinical and a research perspective. Lateral meniscus root tears frequently occur in conjunction with ACL injuries. For this reason, much more attention may be paid to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus during ACL reconstructions nowadays.
