There are several reported causes of midbody extrusion after lateral meniscal allograft transplantation. However, there are no reports studying the correlation between the position of the bony bridge and extrusion of the midbody after meniscal allograft transplantation. ⋯ The more closely the center of the bony bridge approached 50% of the entire tibial plateau, the less extrusion of the midbody occurred. Anatomic placement of the bony bridge of lateral meniscal allograft is imperative to prevent extrusion after lateral meniscal allograft transplantation.

Invasive leg compartment testing may be performed to diagnose chronic exertional compartment syndrome. No prior study has assessed the accuracy of leg compartment needle tip access. ⋯ Ultrasound guidance does not appear to be indicated for routine deep or superficial posterior leg compartment pressure testing. However, this does not preclude the need for ultrasound guidance in selected clinical scenarios.
