Meniscal Allograft Transplantation With Soft Tissue in Bone Socket Fixation: Arthroscopic Technique With Technical Pearls.


ABSTRACT: Meniscal allograft transplantation may slow the progression of degenerative changes in the meniscus-deficient knee. The current literature suggests patients can experience good early to mid-term satisfaction and patient-reported outcomes with reasonable expectations of return to work. More ambitious applications in athletes have also shown good results although long-term data are lacking. Traditionally, meniscal allograft transplantation has been considered an open procedure with incorporation of bone blocks from the allograft source. However, as arthroscopic techniques have advanced, it has become possible to perform this procedure through a predominantly arthroscopic approach while securing the soft tissue graft in bone tunnels. The current demonstration provides this background and technical pearls for success in arthroscopic meniscal allograft transplantation.
