Abstract

© 2022 The AuthorsMeniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) has proven successful in relieving joint pain and providing functional improvement in patients who have undergone subtotal or total meniscectomy. Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) is a biological adjuvant that was shown in the literature to be effective in treating cartilage damage and muscle-tendon tissue problems. The aim of the study is the concomitant use of MAT and BMAC, which are both considered biological treatments and would be beneficial in clinical practice.
