Abstract
Meniscal injury is common, and despite modern techniques, the failure rate following repair remains high. While there are recent treatment advances in the form of biologics, there is limited evidence and agreement on these emerging therapies and their role in meniscal healing. Amniotic tissue (umbilical cord allograft) is a biologic augmentation therapy that has been utilized in other musculoskeletal applications but has not been reported for use in meniscal repair. We describe a technique to deliver an allograft amniotic membrane into a meniscus tear repair site, potentially optimizing healing.
