摘要
A system for repairing a tear in the meniscus in the knee joint including a suture having a first leg, a second leg spaced from the first leg and a cross member connecting the first and second legs. An instrument for delivering the suture to the meniscus can be inserted through an incision in the knee and into the vicinity of the meniscus. A first end of the instrument enters the meniscus adjacent to a first side of the tear, passes through the meniscus and exits the meniscus on a second side of the tear in the meniscus generally opposite the first side of the tear. The instrument has a channel extending longitudinally of the instrument in which the first leg of the suture can be inserted. A push rod pushes the first leg and cross member generally lengthwise in the channel and into the meniscus where the suture closes the tear.
