Arthroscopic Medial Meniscal Allograft Transplantation with Modified Bone Plug Technique

The meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) has been reported to be an effective treatment in terms of pain relief and functional improvement in symptomatic meniscus-deficient knee. The medial MAT is usually performed with the bone plug technique or soft tissue fixation for root fixation. We descri...

description The meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) has been reported to be an effective treatment in terms of pain relief and functional improvement in symptomatic meniscus-deficient knee. The medial MAT is usually performed with the bone plug technique or soft tissue fixation for root fixation. We describe medial MAT with modified bone plug technique that permits easy passage of posterior bone plugs and facilitates bone-to-bone healing. With this method, an anterior bone plug with a long cylindrical shape is prepared, and the posterior bone plug is prepared with a flat bone shell containing a cancellous portion. This modified technique facilitates graft passage as well as bone-to-bone healing.
