<br/><br/> In tight knee joints with a narrow medial joint space, there is a risk of iatrogenic articular cartilage injury, even by an arthroscopy specialist which may predispose to osteoarthritis of the knee. (10)The aim of the study was to detect if there is any residual knee laxity after the Pie- crusting technique or any other complications. Between February 2014 and October 2014, 30 patients with torn posterior horn of  the  medial  meniscus  were  found  to  have  tight  knees  with  difficulty  in visualization of the tear. The pie-crusting technique was done in those patients, which made the performance of partial menisectomy easy and safe. All of the patients complained post-operative from pain over the site of the release (grade I MCL sprain) that has resolved within 1-2 weeks
