Abstract
|
|
|
|
Meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) is a viable treatment option for patients with meniscal deficiency. However, allograft extrusion is commonly observed after meniscal transplantation. Extrusion of the meniscus is biomechanically harmful and can be associated with cartilage volume loss, a decrease in cartilage thickness, and an increase in denuded bone in the affected compartment of the knee. Therefore, arthroscopic surgeons need to give their best effort to prevent allograft extrusion after MAT. In this review, anatomical and technical perspectives to decrease extrusion following lateral MAT are discussed.
