A secure arthroscopic knot

The proposed arthroscopic knot tying technique procedure is simple, easy to master, time saving, and the knot formed is not bulky. The initial tie loop holding capacity securely overcomes tension force between structures repaired. The completed knot, secured with additional two throw square knot or with a three half-hitches incorporating the post switching and/or loop direction reversal, will fail by breakage rather than by slippage (for the most commercially available 0, 2/0, 3/0, absorbable and nonabsorbable, monofilament and braided sutures).
