Fig 1 Approach to posteromedial meniscocapsular junction in anterior cruciate ligament–deficient knee. Viewing is performed from the anterolateral portal with placement of the arthroscope between the medial femoral condyle and posterior cruciate ligament. The knee is in 90° of flexion, and the tibia is in internal rotation. Adequate rotation of the light cord brings the posteromedial meniscocapsular separation into view. The rent in the meniscocapsular junction is easily visible, and one can easily appreciate the sagging of the capsule (arrows) in relation to the meniscus.

Fig 2 Repair of meniscocapsular separation. Viewing is performed from the anterolateral portal with placement of the arthroscope between the medial femoral condyle and posterior cruciate ligament. The knee is in 90° of flexion. After passage of sutures through the meniscus, the grasper lifts the sagging capsule to the desired level; the FiberWire suture (arrows) is shown exiting the posteromedial meniscocapsular separation with an adequate amount of capsular tissue between the sutures, which are placed in horizontal fashion.
