Abstract
- Recently, studies have emphasized the importance of anatomical placement of the lateral meniscal allograft to decrease postoperative extrusion. However, it is infeasible to identify the exact rotation of the allograft during transplantation. We present a patient who underwent a lateral meniscal transplantation using a wire for correct positioning of the allograft. The use of a wire intraoperatively shaped to resemble the contour of the lateral meniscal allograft will aid in more accurate and anatomical graft placement.
