Survivorship of Meniscal Allograft Transplantation in an Athletic Patient Population

Conclusion: While reporting low reoperation and revision rates, this investigation indicates that 22% of patients with MAT were unable to return to military duty due to persistent knee limitations at short-term follow-up. Increased surgical experience may decrease rates of failure after MAT. Careful patient selection and referral to subspecialty-trained, higher-volume surgeons should be considered to optimize clinical outcomes after MAT.
