Autologous semitendinosus meniscus graft significantly improves knee joint kinematics and the tibiofemoral contact after complete lateral meniscectomy

Abstract

The doubled ST lateral meniscus autograft improved the knee joint kinematics significantly and restored the tibiofemoral contact mechanics almost comparable to the native situation. Thus, from a biomechanical point of view, ST meniscus autografts might be a potential treatment alternative for patients who are indicated for meniscus allograft transplantation.
