2021 Annual Meeting Knee Access Pass-Time to Achieving Clinically Significant Outcomes after Meniscal Allograft Transplantation

Time to Achieving Clinically Significant Outcomes after Meniscal Allograft Transplantation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Bill Krieger presents a study on meniscal holograph transplantation. The purpose of the study was to determine the time and factors associated with achieving clinically significant outcomes following the procedure. The study analyzed data from 80 patients over a five-year period, measuring patient-reported outcomes at six months, one year, and two years post-surgery. The results showed that most patients achieved clinically significant improvement in pain and function within the first year, with pain relief occurring before improvements in quality of life. Factors such as work comp status and increased BMI were found to delay the achievement of significant outcomes. Patients who underwent a concomitant realignment procedure had quicker improvement.
