Fig 2 Double-locking loop suture configuration. (A) Three passes are made (each free end [1 and 2] and looped mid portion [3]). (B) After the loop is retrieved from the joint and the free ends are placed into the loop, tension on the free ends will cinch the suture into its final configuration.

Fig 3 Arthroscopic images of tibial socket preparation (right knee, viewing from anterolateral portal). (A) The meniscal root footprint is marked (dashed circle) with the radiofrequency probe. (B) A low-profile anterior cruciate ligament tibial guide is placed over the mark. (C) A 6-mm FlipCutter is drilled into the joint, after which a 6 × 10–mm socket is reamed.
