Meniscus allograft transplantation: indications, techniques and outcomes

[摘要] In recent years, meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) has become the state-of-the-art treatment for the orthopaedic surgeon presented with symptomatic subtotal or total menisectomy patients, especially in the young population.1 Given the long-term degenerative consequences of subtotal and total meniscectomy,2 MAT was developed as an intuitive method to restore the normal contact pressures of the knee joint that were lost with the ultimate goal of delaying the progression of degenerative arthritis.
