Fig. 2 — Lateral meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) by suture-only fixation technique in a patient having undergone subtotal lateral meniscectomy without rim preservation (right knee). Preoperative a) anterior-posterior (AP) and b) lateral radiographs for sizing of the meniscal allograft. The width is measured on the AP radiograph as the distance from the lateral border of the tibial plateau to the apex of the lateral tubercle of the intercondylar eminence. The length is determined as 70% of the measured length of the lateral tibial plateau [63]. c) Arthroscopic view of the lateral gutter. Note the absence of meniscal tissue between the lateral femoral condyle (LFC) and the lateral tibial plateau (LTP); d) Arthroscopic view of the lateral compartment with grade 2 femoral and tibial cartilage lesions; e) Lateral meniscal allograft after preparation and application of the fixation sutures; f) Arthroscopic view of the lateral compartment after lateral MAT; *,Remnant of the native lateral meniscus; **, Lateral meniscal allograft in situ
