Abstract
- The first human meniscal allograft transplantations (MATs) were performed 30 years ago. In the early era, candidates were limited to patients who have favorable joint conditions. MAT is currently indicated for patients with post-meniscectomy symptoms, such as compartmental pain or effusion after a subtotal or total meniscectomy. The current indication for MAT is being expanded to other patients who were not indicated previously. The present article reviews how the indications of MAT have changed over the years.
