Meniscus transplant: Meniscal allograft transplantation can be performed for the painful knee to replace an absent meniscus with a matched for size donated allograft. Subspecialized ports medicine orthopaedic surgeons do this surgery routinely for young knees with a nonfunctioning or absent meniscus-- especially when the remainder of the knee is "worth saving" or normal.
