Right Tibial Plateau

• Position the graft with the tibial tuberosity (anterior) facing “up”
• The lateral meniscus will be on the RIGHT. It is smaller and features a tighter curvature
• “Lateral is Loopy”
• The medial meniscus will be found on the left. It will be larger and have a wider curvature compared to the lateral meniscus
• "Medial = Ear-Shaped"

Left Tibial Plateau

• Position the graft with the tibial tuberosity (anterior) facing “up”
• The lateral meniscus will be on the LEFT. It is smaller and features a tighter curvature
• “Lateral is Loopy”
• The medial meniscus will be found on the right. It will be larger and have a wider curvature compared to the lateral meniscus
• "Medial = Ear-Shaped"

Right Medial Meniscus

• The medial meniscus is narrower at the anterior insertion, and wider at the posterior insertion
• Position the graft for a top-down view, and so that the anterior aspect is facing “up”
• The right medial meniscus will make a C shape

Left Medial Meniscus

• The medial meniscus is narrower at the anterior insertion, and wider at the posterior insertion
• Position the graft for a top-down view, and so that the anterior aspect is facing “up”
• The left medial meniscus will make a D shape

Right Lateral Meniscus

• The anterior portion of the tibial bone block will extend forward past the meniscus insertion
• Position the graft for a top-down view, and so that the anterior aspect is facing “up”
• The lateral meniscus “loop” will extend to the RIGHT of the graft

Left Lateral Meniscus

• The anterior portion of the tibial bone block will extend forward past the meniscus insertion
• Position the graft for a top-down view, and so that the anterior aspect is facing “up”
• The lateral meniscus “loop” will extend to the LEFT of the graft
