Meniscus transplant study: long-term outcomes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how well meniscus transplants work over time — including how long the graft lasts and how it protects knee cartilage. It may be a good fit if you are getting your first or a repeat meniscus transplant, sometimes along with other knee repairs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 65 years old.
- An MRI or camera inside your knee shows you are a good candidate for a meniscus transplant.
- You are having a meniscus transplant, either alone or with other knee repairs (like ligament reconstruction or cartilage smoothing).
- You do not have widespread severe cartilage damage or bone reshaping in the knee being treated.
- You can follow a rehab program after surgery and understand English well enough to talk with your medical team.

This study looks at how well patients' knees are doing 10 years or more after a meniscal transplant (a surgery to replace torn knee cartilage). It aims to understand the long-term benefits and any changes in knee function.
This study looks at results after a particular surgery to repair a meniscus root tear in the knee. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and what outcomes to expect.
This early-phase study tests whether AM3101 can improve healing of a meniscus tear in the knee. Participants must meet age, scan, and health-lab requirements, and they will be closely followed during recovery to check safety and benefit.
This trial tests a surgical technique to fix a certain type of meniscus tear (called a root tear) by stitching it to the knee's posterior cruciate ligament. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients recover better.
This study compares two surgical options for people with ongoing knee pain after having part of their meniscus removed. It tests whether using the patient's own hamstring tendon or a donor meniscus works better to relieve pain and improve function.
This study tests a new surgical technique that uses a donor (allograft) bone-patellar tendon-bone graft to fix a torn ACL and also replaces the missing or damaged meniscus. It may help people whose knee problems haven't improved with other treatments and who are otherwise healthy enough for surgery.
