ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the utility and effect of suturing menisci with epidural transfixion pin to treating acute meniscus tear under arthroscope.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty-two cases with acute meniscus tear were selected, in which 18 were male and 4 were female,aged from 17 to 42 years with average of 28.5. The tearing menisci were sutured with epidural transfixion pin and unabsorbed suture. The follow-up were 6-12 months after operation. Meanwhile, Lysholm score, subjective symptoms and examination were recorded.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Preoperative Lysholm scores were 46.72 +/- 13.46, whereas, postoperative ones were 89.43 +/- 18.21. There was significant difference between before and after operation (t = 1.85, P < 0.01). No recurrent interlocking, no pain in joint medialis and post-medialis space. McMurray test was negative. The complications about injury of blood vessel, nerves and tendons were not found during 6-12 months follow-up.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The technique is advantageous in convenience, reliability, large suture strength and definite curative effect.</p>
