Meniscus Allograft Transplantation in Conjunction With Arthroscopic Biologic Knee Restoration Delays Arthroplasty in Patients Older Than 50 Years

Purpose:

To evaluate whether meniscus allograft transplantation combined with biologic knee restoration can delay arthroplasty in older patients.

Summary:

A joint-preservation paper that supports talking about biologic reconstruction even in select older patients.

Key Takeaways:

• This paper evaluates meniscus allograft transplantation as part of a broader biologic knee-restoration strategy in patients older than 50 years.
• The central message is that carefully selected older patients may still benefit from joint-preserving reconstruction rather than immediate arthroplasty.
• It is especially relevant for CMS messaging around delaying replacement through restorative care.
