Recently, meniscal allograft transplantation has been regarded as a successful procedure in terms of pain relief and functional improvement for the symptomatic patients previously underwent subtotal or total meniscectomy. However, the likelihood of a successful outcome would be reduced by various complications including graft tear, shrinkage, extrusion, infection, progressive chondral injury, and granuloma due to nonabsorbable suture material. Therefore, knee surgeons need to be all aware of the complications and to make an effort to minimize them. The purpose of this article is to review the current literatures regarding clinical results and complications after meniscus allograft transplantation.
