Predictive Factors for Change in Patient-Reported Outcome Measures and Nonfailure Reoperations After Meniscal Allograft Transplantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
This systematic review and meta-analysis identified lateral MAT as a significant risk factor for nonfailure reoperation. Older age and shorter time interval between meniscectomy and MAT were significantly associated with less favorable ΔLysholm scores. A longer meniscal injury-MAT time interval and bone-bridge compared with bone-plug fixation technique for medial MAT were significantly associated with higher reoperation risk.
