Lateral Meniscus Zip Lesion of Knee: Classification and Repair Methods.
Arthroscopy Techniques 2024 April
Lateral meniscus tears at the junction of the Wrisberg ligament and posterior horn are meniscocapsular injuries often seen with injury to the anterior cruciate ligament. Such lateral meniscus posterior horn lesions have been termed zip lesions. The lateral meniscus posterior horn is the major restraint for the pivot shift maneuver. Considering the morphology of condyles, lateral meniscus preservation and repair of unstable meniscocapsular posterior tear are needed to prevent future osteoarthritis. In this Technical Note, we aim to classify zip lesions of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Zip lesions are located posteriorly and often are missed on magnetic resonance imaging and routine diagnostic arthroscopy. We recommend looking from the anteromedial portal and exploring the posterolateral compartment to identify hidden zip lesions, equivalent to medial-sided ramp lesions. We describe various all-inside techniques to repair these inaccessible tears.
