Meniscus allograft transplantation involves taking a meniscus from a cadaver (some one who has just died). The meniscus is tested to ensure that it is not contaminated and then frozen. When all of the tests are negative for contamination, it is provided to surgeons for meniscus transplantation. The technique of transplantation involves an arthroscopic outpatient surgery. See technique pages below. Watch Meniscus Replacement Technique Video, interview with Dr. Kevin Stone.
