Abstract
Meniscal allograft, for proper indications, shows adequate outcomes (for a salvage procedure). Addition of biologics (growth factors and cells) may improve future outcomes, and ultimately a tissue-engineered solution is anticipated, but in the end, host articular cartilage pathology may be a significant confounder of outcome.
