I think this is what you are referring to when you say “peripheral meniscal avulsion.” I had it surgically repaired but 4 months post op, it started hurting again after walking down a steep incline. I had an MRI arthrogram and it once again shows the meniscus being detached from the capsule. The surgeon is recommending a second opinion to find out the correct way to repair it because he is uncertain. He used two all inside fast fix smith and nephew devices in horizontal mattress technique to immobilize the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus to the posterior capsule. This was ineffective. The meniscus is pristine, the only problem is that it is detached. Does anyone know how it should be repaired? It is very hard to find information on this. By the way, I am a pediatric physical therapist and rely on my knees to treat my small patients.
