Meniscus repair

Abstract

The patient was taken to the operating room and placed in the supine position. Anesthesia was induced. Examination under anesthesia demonstrated full range of motion, no effusion, and stable collateral and cruciate ligaments. A tourniquet was placed over the left thigh. The left leg was then placed into the leg holder. The left lower extremity was then prepped and draped in the normal sterile fashion. A multidisciplinary time-out was performed con fi rming the correct patient, procedure, and extremity.
