| Abstract: | Meniscal allografts have come a long way since they were first thought to be a salvage procedure before a knee arthroplasty. The surgical procedure and indications have shown significant change, but the variable of patient age has not. Most clinical series report that patients should be <50-55 years of age to be considered as candidates. While outcomes are better for younger patients, good results can be obtained even when the upper age is extended beyond the current accepted limit. |
