Loss of the meniscus, in part or in total, significantly alters joint function and predisposes the articular cartilage to degenerative changes, which has been well documented both clinically and radiographically. This study examined clinical and patient\u2010reported outcomes following meniscal allograft transplantation with and without combined ACL reconstruction in a select group of 31 patients with complaints of pain and\/or instability (34\u00a0meniscal allografts); 11 underwent isolated meniscal transplantation and 20\u00a0meniscal transplantation combined with ACL reconstruction. Bony fixation was performed with bone plugs for medial transplants and using a bone bridge for lateral transplants. All patients completed several knee\u2010specific and general measures of health\u2010related quality of life and underwent a comprehensive physical examination. Flexion weightbearing PA radiographs at latest follow\u2010up were compared to those obtained preoperatively. Mean follow\u2010up was 2.9 years (range 2\u20135.5 years). The Activities of Daily Living and Sports Activities Scale scores were 86\u00b111 and 78\u00b116, respectively, and the average Lysholm score was 84\u00b114. There were no significant differences in these scores based upon which meniscus (medial or lateral) was transplanted, concurrent ACL reconstruction, or the degree of chondrosis at arthroscopy. SF\u201036 scores indicated that patients were functioning at a level similar to the age\u2010 and sex\u2010matched population. Twenty\u2010two patients stated they were greatly improved, 8 were somewhat improved, 1 was without change. All but one patient reported that knee function and level of activity were normal or nearly normal. The average loss of motion compared to the noninvolved side was 3\u00b0 for extension and 9\u00b0 for flexion. All but one patient had a negative or 1+ Lachman's test. The remaining patient had a 2+ Lachman's test. Assessment with the KT\u20101000 arthrometer revealed a side\u2010to\u2010side difference of 2\u00a0mm (range \u22122\u00a0mm to 7\u00a0mm). Average hop and vertical jump indices were both 85% of the contralateral extremity. No statistically significant joint space narrowing was observed by radiography over time. Meniscal allograft transplantation with and without combined ACL reconstruction in carefully selected patients with complaints of compartmental joint line pain and\/or instability appears able to provide relief of symptoms and restore relatively high levels of function, particularly during activities of daily living.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-003-0362-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,6]],"date-time":"2016-11-06T20:04:06Z","timestamp":1478462646000},"page":"173-182","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":92,"title":["Arthroscopically assisted meniscal allograft transplantation with and without combined anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Erol A.","family":"Yoldas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Holy Cross Hospital Medical Group 6000\u00a0N.
