Video Summary
Dr. Roberto Negrin discusses meniscal transplantation using only soft tissue, emphasizing its advantages over bone plug methods. He presents a case of a young patient benefiting from this procedure, highlighting its rarity but growing acceptance with long-term positive outcomes. Indications include postmeniscectomy syndrome and unstable knees, while contraindications are relative. Soft tissue fixation offers easier surgical technique, better graft size adaptability, lower complication risks, and similar biomechanical performance compared to bone plugs. Studies show good survival rates and patient activity return post-surgery. He advocates soft tissue meniscal transplants as a cost-effective, simpler option, especially for young patients with discoid meniscus issues.
