Meniscal extrusion is positively correlated with the anatomical position changes of the meniscal anterior and posterior horns, following medial meniscal allograft transplantation

ConclusionTransplanting the meniscus close to its native position may reduce subluxation in medial meniscal allograft transplantation. As position changes in the coronal plane can affect the meniscal subluxation more than changes in the sagittal plane, the tibial bone tunnel should be carefully created in the correct anatomical position to avoid a large amount of coronal deviation.Level of evidenceRetrospective case series, IV.
