ABSTRACT

Introduction: The allogeneic meniscal transplantation (AMT) has received much attention lately for the treatment of young, active patients with painful knees previously subjected to meniscectomy. Objective: Show the current concepts on AMT as well as the methods for meniscal harvesting, processing and preservation that the Tissue Bank must implement. Conclusions: Based on the results of the short- and medium-term studies, the AMT has proven to relieve pain and improve function in patients with symptomatic knees and a history of meniscectomy. To respond to the requests from surgeons, the Tissue Bank should supply grafts that assure the appropriate processing and quality of the meniscus.
