Clinical results and failure rates after meniscal allograft transplantation and autologous chondrocyte implantation: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) and autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) are well-established procedures. However, evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of their combined application remains inconclusive. Thus, the present systematic review aimed to comprehensively evaluate the existing literature on clinical outcomes after combined MAT and ACI.

Methods

A comprehensive search of clinical studies reporting on clinical outcomes after combined MAT and ACI was performed across three databases in accordance with the review protocol. Key demographic data, surgical technique, knee-specific patient-reported outcome measures, failure rates, and reoperation rates were extracted from eligible studies and analyzed. Risk of bias was assessed using the Method
