Article Synopsis
- Meniscal injuries are prevalent among young, active individuals, and surgical options like meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) are increasingly being used to address these injuries and restore function.
- A thorough review of literature on MAT was conducted, including 41 studies, where most were rated as having 'Critically Low' to 'Low' confidence; patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) showed positive short-term results, but concerns about study quality were prevalent.
- The review calls for improved research quality, focusing on long-term outcomes, effective surgical techniques, and specific patient criteria to better understand MAT's impact, especially in pediatric populations.

The PubMed database was probed to quantify trends in the overall number of articles published, the number of journals these articles were published in, and the number of active scientists producing new manuscripts. We also evaluated trends in flagship spine journals (, , and ) and in the The total number of active ORS3 and ISSLS authors and articles published have increased over the last 10 years.
