A meniscal transplant is the transplant of a donor meniscus into the patient when their own meniscus is damaged beyond repair.

The graft can be inserted via different methods. Most often donor meniscus with a bone block is prepared and slotted into a matching slot in the bone at the top of the tibia in a 'tongue-and-groove' fashion. Cells from the patient will migrate into the transplanted tissue and help to restore its function.
