Introduction & Objectives Meniscal injuries occur approximately 66 to 70 per 100,000 individuals annually (Fig. 1), potentially leading to the development of osteoarthritis (OA) or other degenerative cartilage disease in 10 to 20 years. One of the conventional treatments is meniscal allograft transplantation. However, its limitations constrain its comprehensive application in the healthcare system.
