Meniscus Allograft Transplantation With Bone Plugs Using Knotless All-Suture Anchors and Cortical Button Suspensory Fixation.

ABSTRACT: Meniscus allograft transplantation can be successful for treatment of meniscal deficiency using a number of transplant techniques. In this Technical Note, we describe a double bone plug medial meniscus allograft transplantation technique that uses knotless all-suture anchors with cortical-button suspensory fixation. This technique maintains the reported advantages for bone-plug fixation while mitigating the risk for meniscal root damage, facilitating easier bone plug insertion and seating, expanding tensioning capabilities, and preventing soft-tissue irritation from suture knot stacks.
