Zusammenfassung

Klinische Langzeitergebnisse bei Meniskus-Allotransplantationen sind selten. Die allogene Meniskustransplantation ist eine naheliegende biologische Lösung, wenn ein Patient mit Meniskusschwäche symptomatisch wird. Dazu ist nur wenig Literatur vorhanden, aus der jedoch hervorgeht, dass sowohl im kurz- und mittelfristigen follow-up als auch bei langfristiger Betrachtung Schmerzlinderung und funktionale Besserung eintreten. Studien sprechen dafür, dass sich ein zufriedenstellendes Ergebnis einstellt, wenn man bei der Indikationsstellung für die Operation auf einen ausreichenden Knorpelbefund, bandstabile Knie und korrekte Beinstellung achtet.

Abstract

Long-term clinical outcome data and the fate of meniscus allografts after transplantation are scarce. Meniscus allograft transplantation represents a biological solution when a meniscus-deficient patient becomes symptomatic. The limited literature results, however, clearly suggest pain relief and functional improvement in short and medium term follow-up as well as long-term results. Investigations suggest that satisfactory outcomes can be attained when initiating surgery with good indications relating to satisfactory cartilage findings, knees with stabile ligaments and correct limb alignment.
