Abstract Meniscus allograft transplant (MAT) can provide meaningful improvement in patient outcomes in those who are otherwise meniscus deficient. A common finding in the setting of a failed MAT is meniscus extrusion. Meniscus centralization is a technique performed to reduce the meniscus to its intra‐articular location and has been shown to improve postoperative pain and function in patients with an extruded meniscus. Prior techniques have been described for meniscus centralization in the setting of a meniscus root tear or with the use of single tension devices that are tensioned after meniscocapsular fixation. We present a minimally invasive technique for meniscus centralization that can be performed in conjunction with MAT using a centralization stabilization suture and re‐tensionable root‐fixation subchondral anchors that can be secured prior to meniscocapsular fixation.

Abstract Hip arthroscopy is a technically demanding procedure that can require a substantial volume of irrigation fluid. Techniques should be explored to optimize fluid use while ensuring satisfactory surgical instrumentation and labral repair. In this technical note, we present a method for performing a dry arthroscopic labral repair. This technique can be used in the treatment of a variety of labral pathologies, including primary labral repair with knotless or hand‐tied anchors, revision labral repair, and labral reconstruction, without the need for irrigation fluid. Additionally, we discuss supplemental techniques that can be used during other portions of the arthroscopic hip procedure to limit irrigation fluid use.
