Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Meniscus tears are common knee injuries, often leading to pain and instability.
  • Allogeneic meniscus transplantation offers a solution for irreparable meniscus damage.
  • Graft choice and surgical technique are critical for successful outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of allogeneic meniscus transplantation for knee joint repair.
  • To assess functional outcomes and graft integration after meniscus replacement surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Arthroscopic knee surgery involving meniscus allograft implantation.
  • Graft preparation includes thawing and antibiotic incubation.
  • Surgical technique involves tibial tunnel creation and graft fixation using advanced suture materials.
  • Postoperative management includes controlled weight-bearing and progressive range of motion exercises.

Main Results:

  • 15 patients (6 medial, 9 lateral) underwent allogeneic meniscus transplantation.
  • Mean follow-up of 14.2 months showed an average meniscus extrusion of 2.7 mm.
  • Lysholm score improved significantly from 70.2 to 90.1.
  • Two cases required revision surgery due to reruption; no infections, thrombosis, or arthrofibrosis were reported.

Conclusions:

  • Allogeneic meniscus transplantation is a viable option for meniscus replacement, leading to substantial functional improvement.
  • The surgical technique described demonstrates good graft integration and a low incidence of major complications.
  • Further research may explore long-term outcomes and patient selection criteria.
