Free-floating medial meniscus implant kinematics do not change after simulation of medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy and notchplasty.

The results of the present in-vitro study showed that the non-anchored free-floating device remains within the medial knee joint gap under challenging dynamic loading situations without indicating any luxation tendencies. This also provides initial benchtop evidence that the device offers suitable stability and kinematic behaviour to be considered a potential alternative to meniscus allograft transplantation in combination with an MOWHTO, potentially expanding the patient collective in the future.
