Methods: From 2002 to 2010, 13 patients with symptomatic displaced bucket-handle tears of the lateral meniscus treated by arthroscopic meniscus repair were included in this study. Inclusion criteria were (1) displaced bucket-handle tear of the lateral meniscus demonstrated on magnetic resonance imaging, (2) non-discoid lateral meniscus, (3) stable knee, and (4) tears involving the red-white or red-red zone. Median age at operation was 20years (range 14-54years), and the median follow-up period was 4.0years (range 2-10.7years). All tears were repaired with either a modified all-inside suture technique only or a combination of the modified all-inside suture and modified outside-in techniques. Clinical results were evaluated preoperatively and at the final follow-up using Tegner activity level, Lysholm knee, and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores. Results: All patients returned to their prior life activities with little or no limitations, and no reoperations were required during the follow-up period. On the final follow-up, all knees achieved full range of motion, except two knees with limited function during squatting and jumping due to pain. No patient had recurrence of a knee-locking episode. The median Tegner activity level improved significantly from 3 (2-6) to 7 (4-9) (p<0.0001), mean Lysholm knee score improved from 78.5±10.7 preoperatively to 94.6±5.4 (p<0.0001), and mean preoperative HSS score improved from 80.3±8.5 to 95.9±4.2 (p<0.0001) during the follow-up period. Conclusion: Arthroscopic meniscus repair using the modified all-inside suture and modified outside-in techniques showed excellent clinical outcomes for treatment of symptomatic displaced bucket-handle tears of the lateral meniscus and were free of any complications or episodes of recurrence.
