Meniscal Transplantation-Update on Indications, Techniques, and Outcomes.

Meniscal tears are a very common clinical condition, often treated with surgery. While indications for meniscal repair are expanding, most meniscal tears are still treated with arthroscopic resection. Meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) is an evolving treatment option for young, active patients with symptomatic meniscal-deficient knees. There is a growing body of evidence for good long-term outcomes from MAT, although the long-term chondroprotective potential is still unproven. This article reviews the latest evidence regarding the indications, surgical techniques, complications, rehabilitation, and reported outcomes after MAT.
