Long-term Survival Analysis of Meniscus Allograft Transplantation with Bone Fixation

Purpose: To investigate the long-term survival rate of meniscal allograft transplantations (MAT) with bone fixation.

Summary:

  • 49 knees underwent a MAT procedure (34 lateral and 15 medial) with a minimum follow-up duration of 8 years
  • The “keyhole” technique was used on the lateral side whereas bone plugs were used on the medial side
  • 10-year survival rate was 98.0% and the 15-year survival rate was 93.3%
  • There were no instances of revision MAT in this cohort and only 2 were considered failures

 

JRF Ortho Take Away: MAT using a bone fixation technique demonstrated a high clinical survival rate over long-term follow-up.
