The DIZG is the only provider in Germany that offers meniscus matching to find a suitable meniscus transplant.

Find the optimal transplant in a targeted manner

The advantages of a matched meniscus:

  • The only biological-anatomical option to replace a meniscus is an allogeneic meniscus transplant.
  • The functionality of the knee joint is restored1.
  • The risk of osteoarthritis is reduced1.
  • Pain is alleviated1.
  • Quality of life is improved.
