Comparison of Suture Versus Bony Fixation in Meniscal Allograft Transplantation Outcomes: A Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Meniscal allograft transplantation replaces damaged meniscal tissue with grafts, aiming to restore knee stability and function. The method employed in the fixation of the meniscal graft-suture or bony fixation-has sparked clinical interest and ongoing discussions.

Purpose

To compare suture fixation with bony fixation of the meniscal graft, with the focus on functional and clinical outcomes.

Study design

Meta-analysis and systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.

Methods

Meta-analyses were performed with a multidatabase search according to PRISMA guidelines on August 15, 2023. Data from published articles meeting inclusion criteria were extracted and analyzed with an inverse variance statistical model.

Results

A total of 6 studies were included
