Medial Meniscal Allograft Transplantation With Bone Plugs Using a 3-Tunnel Technique

Meniscal allograft transplantation is an area of active research, given that the importance of the meniscus in native knee joint longevity has been increasingly recognized. This article describes a modified meniscal allograft transplantation technique using 3 bone tunnels with allograft fixation through the use of bone plugs. The addition of a third tunnel increases the strength of fixation, avoiding meniscal extrusion and improving load distribution.

Automated summary

Meniscal allograft transplantation is an important area of research that can improve knee joint health and longevity.
