Abstract
Posterior meniscal root repair is an expensive procedure because its performance often requires the use of specific devices. This issue is a limiting factor, especially in the public health system. Given this context, the development of alternative methods to treat these injuries became necessary. Among the available options, the technique combining the use of anterior portals and a tibial bone tunnel with an epidural needle has been proven to be effective and relevant due to its low cost. The present study aimed to provide technical guidance and suggestions to increase the success rate of this procedure, to enable its performance by knee surgeons in low-resource settings.
