ICL Description

The meniscus is vital to normal knee function and the health of the articular cartilage. This course reviews indications for meniscal allograft transplantation along with tips for achieving good clinical outcomes. Additionally, participants will be able to describe the use of biological adjuvants to improve outcomes following meniscus repair and other meniscal procedures by the course’s completion. Participants will also be able to formulate approaches to meniscal preservation based on patient-specific factors.

Learning Objectives

Following completion of this course, participants should be able to:

Understand background of medial meniscus root tears and rationale for consideration of repair with centralization;
Recognize common meniscus tear patterns including the newly described LMORT tear, and options for meniscus repair either all-inside or outside-in, along with biologic augmentation considerations, and;
Describe indications and technique for meniscal transplantation. A review of specific cases will optimize their retention and carry over to their clinical practice.
