Clinical Outcomes of Meniscal Allograft Transplantation With or Without Other Procedures
Overall, there seems to be no significant difference between the postoperative patient reported outcomes in terms of isolated MAT and combined MAT.
Read moreHow Should We Secure Our Transplanted Meniscus? A Meta-Analysis
To assess meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) outcomes and compare the results of different root fixation techniques through systematic literature review. The significant overall improvements in function and pain scores accompanied by low allograft failure rates suggest that MAT is a reliable option. The current data does not demonstrate a difference in fixation method which may suggest that it does not have a significant influence on clinical outcome.

Long-term Survival Analysis of Meniscus Allograft Transplantation with Bone Fixation
The purpose of this paper is to nvestigate the long-term survival rate of meniscal allograft transplantations (MAT) with bone fixation. MAT using a bone fixation technique demonstrated a high clinical survival rate over long-term follow-up.
