Total or subtotal menisectomy can often be applied in the treatment of meniscal tears, which can not be repaired. In these types of diseases, biomechanical deterioration and functional damage develops in the knee joint over the years. Allograft transplantation is considered the most satisfactory treatment that can be performed to correct this condition. Short, medium, and long term outcomes with transplantation performed by experien-ced surgeons determined according to selection criteria have been reported to be very successful. Meniscus transplantation is a surgical technique that involves differences in the medial and lateral compartments. Anatomical definitions, indications, surgical technique, and rehabilitation of the medial meniscus transplantation will be mentioned in this article.
