Question about meniscal repairs

Subject: Question about meniscal repairs

We discussed treatment options, which could include primary inside repair versus s/l end out suture technique, which would require direct visualization of the peroneal nerve.

Can't verify "end out suture technique" anywhere. Is this correct, or am I just hearing it wrong? Thx
