title: Arthroscopic and open surgical techniques for meniscus replacement--meniscal allograft transplantation and tendon autograft transplantation.
abstract: Open, arthroscopically assisted and arthroscopic methods for lateral and medial meniscus allograft transplantation with bone plug fixation are described.
