With the surgeon viewing medially, a looped suture grasper from the lateral portal is used to retrieve this loop of the No. 2 FiberStick suture below the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus and pull it out the lateral portal. This No. 2 FiberStick loop out the lateral portal is then used to shuttle the two No. 0 FiberWire cinch sutures from the posterior root of the lateral meniscus into the created tibial socket to secure the root of the lateral meniscus here with fixation on the proximal tibia. - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5368099/

Creation of Tibial Bone Socket

Next, attention is directed toward the creation of a tibial bone socket to reduce the lateral meniscal root securely to bone. This requires drilling from the tibia up into the joint, which necessitates anterior tibial exposure. Because this root repair is being performed concomitantly with an ACL reconstruction, a 2-cm medial tibial incision is made medial and just proximal to the tibial tuberosity, which can also be used to create the tibial tunnel for the ACL reconstruction. - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5368099/

In this article, the authors describe a simple and reproducible technique for posterior horn meniscal root repairs using sutures and a transtibial bone tunnel. - http://www.jeremyburnhammd.com/wp-content/uploads/Meniscal-R... - page 2
