This case report describes a new approach to segmental meniscal reconstruction using a peroneal longus autograft in a patient with recurrent traumatic medial meniscus tear and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) failure. While allograft meniscal transplantation is the preferred method for treating meniscal deficiency, its high cost and various legal regulations have limited its widespread use. Autologous tendon grafts have been proposed as a substitute for allograft meniscus transplantation, but their initial results were poor, leading to little progress in this area. However, recent animal experiments and clinical studies have demonstrated promising results in using autologous tendon grafts for meniscal transplantation, including improvements in pain and quality of life for patients. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of segmental meniscal reconstruction using autologous tendon grafts, but it could potentially lead to more accessible and cost-effective treatment options for patients with meniscal deficiency.
