Two-Year Patient-Reported Outcomes Are Predictive of Mid- and Long-term Outcomes After Meniscal Allograft Transplantation

Purpose: The goal of this study was to determine if short-term patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following MAT correlate with mid- to long-term patient reported outcomes (PROs) at a minimum of 5 years follow-up.

Summary:

  • The mean follow-up was 10.4 years, showing significant correlations between short- and mid-term, as well as short- and long-term improvements in all outcomes except for Lysholm scores in the long-term group.
  • Subsequent reoperation was required in 33.3% of patients, with 9.2% converting to arthroplasty.


JRF Takeaways: Significant correlations were seen between short-term PROs and mid- to long-term PROs following MAT. With a low reoperation rate and only 9.2% of patients converting to arthroplasty at 10-year follow-up, MAT is an effective treatment option for surgeons. JRF offers both fresh and frozen size-matched meniscal allografts.
