Does Lateral Meniscal Allograft Transplantation Using the Keyhole Technique Restore the Anatomic Location of the Native Lateral Meniscus?

Conclusion: When comparing the position of the horns preoperatively and postoperatively, both horns showed mean relative postoperative positional changes of <5% of relative values and <5 mm of absolute values in both the coronal and sagittal planes. The keyhole technique in lateral MAT can reconstruct the lateral meniscus close to its native anatomic position by avoiding displacement of >5 mm in both the coronal and sagittal planes.
