Background: There is significant discrepancy in the reported vascularity within the meniscus, and a progressively diminishing blood supply may indicate a differential healing capacity of tears that is dependent on the affected meniscal zone. Purpose: To examine the outcomes after inside-out meniscal repair in all 3 meniscal vascularity zones. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Patients were included if they underwent inside-out meniscal repair by a single surgeon between 2010 and 2014 and had a minimum 2-year follow-up. Patients were divided into 3 groups based on the meniscal tear location (red-red, red-white, and white-white zones) as determined during an intraoperative assessment. Patient-reported outcome scores were obtained at final follow-up. Results: A total of 173 patients (mean age, 33.6 +/- 14.3 years) were included, with a mean follow-up of 2.9 +/- 0.9 years. All patients demonstrated significant improvements with inside-out meniscal repair from preoperatively to postoperatively, regardless of the meniscal tear location. Patients who underwent meniscal repair in the red-red and red-white zones had significantly increased postoperative Tegner, Lysholm, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores compared with patients who underwent meniscal repair in the white-white zone (P < .05). Patients who underwent acute repair (
