ABSTRACT
Meniscus allograft transplantation (MAT) is a technically challenging procedure. Bone plugs, slot techniques, and all-soft-tissue fixation techniques have been described in the past. Each technique comes with advantages and disadvantages. Native menisci have circumferential collagen fibers to help resist hoop stress during loading cycles. Although hoop stress resistance is a known function of the menisci, its recreation in MAT has only been targeted indirectly through anatomic root placement. The authors describe the use of a high-tensile suture tape (i.e. InternalBrace) to promote centralization by directly mitigating hoop stresses through recreation of peripheral meniscus tensioning in MAT.
