It covered biologic augmentation techniques for various meniscal tear types, both in isolation and with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Eight options were assessed: no augmentation, trephination, rasping, marrow venting, fibrin clot, platelet\u2010rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and meniscal wrapping. Surgeons could select multiple techniques per scenario.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Forty\u2010two surgeons participated: 42% from Europe, 18% from North America, 10% from Latin America, 21% from Asia and 9% from Africa\/Oceania. For isolated meniscal tears (excluding meniscal root tears), 90% of surgeons used at least one biologic augmentation technique. For meniscal tears associated with ACLR, 66% of surgeons used at least one biologic augmentation technique. The most utilized techniques were rasping (19%\u201369%), trephination (7%\u201343%), and marrow venting (0%\u201374%). PRP (2%\u201319%), BMAC (0%\u201314%) and meniscal wrapping (0%\u201310%) were least used. Biologic augmentation was most frequent for isolated radial (93%), isolated bucket\u2010handle (86%), isolated vertical (86%) and isolated horizontal tears (98% for younger patients, 86% for degenerative tears). ACLR\u2010associated repairs had lower augmentation rates, and meniscal root tears showed the highest percentage of non\u2010augmented repairs. Over 50% of surgeons use a single augmentation technique, while 20% use two techniques depending on tear type. Overall, 33.3% (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200914) of surgeons reported utilizing PRP and\/or BMAC for meniscal repair augmentation, with the highest use observed in South America (12%) based on geographic usage.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This survey provides insights into current meniscal repair practices among expert orthopaedic sports medicine surgeons.
