BACKGROUND: The natural history of a knee subjected to total meniscectomy leads to poor outcomes, so we should be careful with these lesions. Meniscal transplantation may be a proper treatment for these patients as it involves a good medium-term survival. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We report the case of a 52 year-old male who underwent meniscal transplantation and developed left gonarthrosis. The surgical approach consisted of medial longitudinal arthrotomy and implantation of a posterior stabilized prosthesis after releasing the soft tissues, which were very retracted. RESULTS: At the one year follow-up the operated knee had an articular range of 0-110 degrees, with no gap and no pain; no external support was required for walking. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the fact that most case series report good short- and medium-term results, some patients do not have good results and need a total knee prosthesis.
