•Repair techniques for posterior root tears of the medial meniscus (PRTMM) using suture anchors have been reported.•The present authors modified previous techniques by using a knotless suture anchor instead of a suture anchor.•The knotless suture anchor technique can be considered as an alternative procedure for PRTMM repair.
There are numerous methods for repairing posterior root tears of the medial meniscus (PRTMM). Repair techniques using suture anchors through a high posteromedial portal have been reported. The present study found that using a knotless suture anchor instead of suture anchor seemed easier and faster because it avoided passing the sutures through the meniscus and tying a knot in a small space. This study describes a knotless suture anchor technique through a high posteromedial portal, and its clinical results.
