No Differences in 2-Year Reoperation Rates for Meniscus Allograft Transplant With Concomitant Cartilage Restoration or Osteotomy: A National Database Study

Purpose: The goal of this study was to use a national insurance claims database to determine reoperation rates following MAT, both with and without concomitant procedures.

Summary:

  • Reoperation rates were 1.33% at 90 days, 14.4% at 2 years, and 27.6% overall.
  • Meniscus transplantation combined with ACI showed an increased reoperation rate at 90 days.


JRF Takeaways: Performing MAT with concomitant procedures is a safe option for patients. Approximately 1 in 4 patients undergoing MAT also have a concomitant cartilage restoration procedure, and when OCAs are performed simultaneously, there is no increase in reoperation rates.
