Summary:Subtotal and total meniscectomy is known to advance osteoarthritis in patients. Meniscus transplant using semitendinosus autograft is a viable option in young patients. We have presented the early follow-up, along with technical video, for arthroscopic meniscus transplant with autologous semitendinosus graft with bone marrow aspirate-derived fibrin clot along with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, in the primary surgery, in a patient of ACL tear along with near-complete loss of medial meniscus due to auto-meniscectomy. The patient showed good functional and radiological outcome at 9 months.
