Surgical technique of meniscal replacement.
Meniscal replacement by allograft and prosthesis is under laboratory and investigational clinical practice. In order to succeed, a replacement must duplicate the exact mechanical function of the original meniscal cartilage. The technique of replacement described in this article permits minimal disruption of the joint tissues, accurate placement of the meniscal horns, and secure fixation of the meniscal synovial junction.
