Complex Horizontal Cleavage Tear Repair of the Lateral Meniscus With Fibrin Clot Augmentation
This fibrin clot interposition technique augments the repair of a horizontal cleavage tears. Due to horizontal cleavage tears being localized in the white-white avascular zone, augmentation including using a fibrin clot can help induce healing. This repair can help restore the stability and cushioning of the meniscus to slow the progression of osteoarthritis.
