meniscus allograft transplantation

Meniscus allograft transplantation is a surgical procedure where a damaged or missing meniscus—the cartilage cushion in the knee—is replaced with a healthy, donor meniscus. This helps restore knee stability, reduce pain, and improve function, especially in patients who have lost meniscal tissue due to injury or previous surgeries. The donor tissue is carefully matched and processed for safety. The transplantation aims to preserve the knee joint’s health, delay arthritis, and allow for more normal movement. It’s a specialized procedure often considered when other treatments haven’t provided relief or to prevent further joint deterioration.
