In this two-minute video, a case is presented involving a 25-year-old medical student who sustained a knee injury while running. The patient experiences pain medially and anteriorly, along with catching sensations and a limp. X-rays reveal preserved joint space and MRI shows a tear. Arthroscopic examination reveals complex, multidirectional tearing with shredded tissue. The case is discussed in a small group, with some considering a meniscal allograft transplant as a possible solution. Various techniques and expert opinions are provided regarding the transplant procedure.
