A longitudinal, or bucket handle tear, occurs when the meniscus is ripped around its circumference and its inner margin becomes displaced.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This bucket handle tear may be repaired arthroscopically, using a scope and a small instrument for suturing. The torn meniscus tends to flap over into the joint, so first this is placed back into the correct position. Sutures are then passed through the meniscus to fix it into place. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ #completeanatomy #3d4medical #anatomysnippets #students #medica
