Schematic drawing: Mensical cross section, different tear types and their suturing potential. R-R: red-red-zone, R-W: red-white zone. W-W: white-white-zone: a longitudinal tear, b bucket handle tear, c radial tear, d flap lesion, e flap lesion with meniscal root participation. Different meniscal tear types: especially large bucket handle tears and radial tears that extend to the meniscal rim should be considered to be repaired
