A member asked:
Is having a meniscus transplantation a good option?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: It is a good option if you have minimal arthritis localized only to the side of the joint where you are having the treatment done. If you have moderate to severe arthritis the treatment is not indicated.
