BACKGROUND: Data are lacking regarding the survival rate after medial meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) alone. Furthermore, little information is available about prognostic factors for graft survival that affect the outcomes of medial MAT. PURPOSE: To investigate the prognostic factors and survival rate of allograft after medial MAT. STUDY DESIGN: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: The records of 78 consecutive patients who underwent primary medial MAT between 1996 and 2018 were reviewed. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to analyze the anatomic and clinical survival rates. Anatomic failure was defined as a tear covering >50% of the allograft or unstable peripheral rim. Clinical failure was considered Lysholm score 50% of the allograft. Patient factors affecting anatomic and clinical failure were analyzed. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 6.9 ± 5.3 years (range, 2-21 years). Anatomic failure was noted in 19 patients (24.4%), and none of these patients had a persistent poor Lysholm score of
