Abstract
Partial meniscectomy or failed meniscus repair can lead to pain, dysfunction, and cartilage degradation due to increased contact forces. Meniscus transplantation can lead to favorable outcomes and cartilage preservation with careful patient selection. Limited data exist on segmental meniscus allograft transplantation, with promising results using synthetic grafts and early animal and biomechanical studies on segmental allograft transplantation, showing similar results to full meniscus allograft transplantation. This article presents a technique for arthroscopic segmental medial meniscus allograft transplant and a brief review of the literature.
