Likelihood of Return to Duty Is Low After Meniscal Allograft Transplantation in an Active-duty Military Population.

CONCLUSIONS: Surgeons should be aware of the low likelihood of return to military duty at more than 2 years after MAT and counsel patients accordingly. Based on this study, MAT does not appear to be compatible with continued unrestricted military duty for most patients.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, therapeutic study.
