Meniscus TransplanTaTion
Any significant loss of meniscal function through injury or menisectomy alters the biomechanical and biological environment of the normal knee, eventually resulting in pain, recurrent swelling, and effusions. Overt secondary osteoarthritis is often the endpoint.1,2 Recognition of these consequences has led to a strong commitment within the orthopedic community to meniscal-sparing interventions....
متن کاملAllograft meniscus transplantation.
Menisci function to manage load transmission, provide secondary mechanical stability as well as nutrition, and lubricate the joint. Meniscus transplantation techniques continue to evolve and include: free soft tissue allograft implantation; separate anterior and posterior bone plugs; and bone bridges including key hole, trough, dovetail, and bridge-in-slot variations.

متن کاملMeniscus repair and transplantation: a comprehensive update.
Preservation of meniscal tissue is paramount for long-term joint function, especially in younger patients who are athletically active. Many studies have reported encouraging results following repair of meniscus tears for both simple longitudinal tears located in the periphery and complex multiplanar tears that extend into the central third avascular region. This operation is usually indicated i...
متن کاملAllograft interference screw fixation in meniscus transplantation.
Allograft meniscus transplantation is indicated to restore proper knee biomechanics and prevent subsequent articular degeneration in patients with a meniscus-deficient knee. A variety of techniques for fixation of meniscal transplants exist, with some techniques using soft-tissue fixation of the meniscal horns and others using bony fixation. The authors present a technique of meniscus transplan...
متن کاملAllograft Meniscus Transplantation: A Current Review
Meniscal tissue’s ability to heal has been shown to be limited. Until recently, orthopedic surgeons treating patients who had undergone a meniscectomy had few options available to treat the persistent pain sometimes associated with it and the subsequent early joint degeneration. This was true except in cases of limb malalignment. Meniscal allograft transplantation was introduced in the eighties...
