• ABSTRACT
    • Surgical strategies for knee joint preservation are numerous, with the procedure(s) of choice for a given patient dependent on the status of the articular cartilage, meniscus, overall alignment, and ligamentous stability. For patients with large, isolated, osteochondral defects of the articular cartilage of the femoral condyle, osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) is often performed in an effort to reduce pain and improve function. Similarly, for appropriately indicated patients with symptomatic meniscus deficiency, meniscus allograft transplantation (MAT) is an excellent surgical solution. Often patients require concomitant MAT and OCA as part of a joint preservation strategy. In this Technical Note, we describe the surgical technique for performing arthroscopic-assisted concomitant lateral MAT and lateral femoral condyle OCA as part of a knee joint preservation strategy.
