Meniscal transplant an alternative to knee replacement for young individuals


Meniscal transplant Posted by Picasa
Young individuals with deficient cartilages of the knee ( menisci) are at risk of developing arthritis soon. This can be avoided by undergoing a meniscal transplant. As shown here, a meniscus is harvested from a cadaver and can be stored. It can be then transplanted into the knee of a meniscal deficient individual by open or arthroscopic surgery. This procedure is now available in India as an alternative to knee replacement in young individuals. Off course the ligaments of the knee should also be intact and there should be no bow leg deformities.
