2021 AOSSM-AANA Combined Annual Meeting Recordings-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 presentation, Bill Krieger discusses the timing and factors associated with achieving clinically significant outcomes in meniscal holograph transplantation. The study analyzed data from 80 patients who underwent the procedure over a five-year period. It was found that most patients achieved clinically significant outcomes, such as pain relief and improved function, within the first postoperative year. Factors such as work comp status and increased BMI were associated with delayed achievement of these outcomes, while a concomitant realignment procedure was associated with quicker results. Overall, this study highlights the importance of considering these factors in the success of meniscal holograph transplantation.
