Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages

Additional AIML fixation might make the graft more stable to avoid extrusion.

There is more flexibility in determining the fixation point of the anterior horn according to the size of the allograft owing to secondary coverage of the AIML and associated soft tissue.

It is easy to apply our technique to both medial and lateral MAT via the same philosophy.

Disadvantages

Anatomic variance of the AIML insertion makes this technique difficult.

Identification and harvesting of the AIML depends on the surgeon's technique.

The length and strength might be changed according to the surgeon's harvesting technique.

AIML, anterior intermeniscal ligament; MAT, meniscal allograft transplantation.
