We describe a surgical technique to repair medial meniscus posterior root tears through a transtibial pullout repair with a subcortical button for tibial fixation. This technique allows progressive tensioning of the repaired root without losing tension both during suturing of the knots above the button and after the procedure, owing to the specific button configuration.
