Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Sports medicine
  • Regenerative medicine

Background:

  • Meniscus loss significantly impacts knee function and pain.
  • Allograft transplantation is a viable option for irreparable meniscus defects.
  • Younger patients without advanced arthritis are ideal candidates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of meniscus allograft transplantation.
  • To compare different surgical techniques for meniscus root repair.
  • To assess clinical outcomes and return to sport rates.

Main Methods:

  • Review of surgical techniques including bone bridge, bone plug, and all-soft tissue.
  • Analysis of clinical outcomes and patient-reported results.
  • Assessment of graft stability and biomechanical restoration.

Main Results:

  • Meniscus allograft transplantation successfully restores knee function and alleviates pain.
  • Favorable clinical outcomes and high return to sport rates were observed.
  • No single surgical technique demonstrated a clear advantage over others.

Conclusions:

  • Meniscus allograft transplantation is an effective treatment for irreparable meniscus loss.
  • Surgical technique choice may depend on surgeon preference and graft availability.
  • Further research is needed on optimal tissue processing and rehabilitation protocols.
