Zusammenfassung:The purpose of this study was to determine the (1) reoperation rate and (2) 30-day complication rate in a large insurance database. The Truven Database was queried for subjects that underwent meniscus allograft transplantation (Current Procedural Terminology code 29868) in the outpatient setting with minimal 2-year follow-up. Patients without confirmed laterality and patients that underwent concomitant ligament reconstruction were excluded. Reoperation was defined by ipsilateral knee procedure after the index surgery. The 30-day postoperative complication rates were assessed using International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification codes. A total of 284 patients (mean age of 26.2 ± 10.4 years; 49.6% females) were included in this study with mean follow up of 43.2 ± 19.2 months. One hundred and sixty-seven subjects (58.8%) undergoing meniscus allograft transplantation underwent reoperation at an average of 11.9 ± 12.2 months postoperatively. There was a low number of subjects that required ipsilateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty postoperatively (0.7% and 1.1%, respectively). The overall 30-day complication rate following meniscus allograft transplantation was 1.4%. Patients undergoing meniscus allograft transplantation have a 58.8% reoperation rate at final follow up with low (1.4%) 30-day complication rates in a large insurance database. Level IV, case series.
