ABSTRACT:
A method of surgical repair using a needle having two sharpened ends, under arthroscopic control by passing a needle into the joint until the eye of the needle just emerges from the skin on the distal side of the joint, then pulling the suture through the joint to the outside while the needle remains partially within the joint capsule and passing the needle back to the opposite side of the joint so as to reverse the maneuver, so that the needle remains partially within the joint capsule.
