Meniscal Allograft Transplantation Maintains Function and Activity Beyond 10 Years with Moderate Graft Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

PURPOSE: To evaluate long-term (≥10-year) clinical and patient-reported outcomes, return to sport, graft survival, and complication rates following meniscus allograft transplantation (MAT) in patients with symptomatic meniscal deficiency. METHODS: statistic. RESULTS: = 0%). CONCLUSION: Meniscal allograft transplantation demonstrates sustained improvements in pain, function, and activity levels at long-term follow-up in patients with symptomatic meniscal deficiency. However, the overall pooled failure rate of 31% highlights the need for careful patient selection and appropriate counselling regarding expected outcomes. The consistent direction of results across studies supports MAT as a valuable joint-preserving intervention for meniscus-deficient knees in patients.
