We present a surgical technique for the treatment of early knee OA in association of an extruded meniscus to restore meniscal anatomical position and preserve its native physiological function related to cartilage preservation. The meniscal retensioning or “meniscal autotransplant” can increase meniscal coverage in the compromised compartment, prevent cartilage degeneration, decrease subchondral bone exposure, restore compartmental space and consequently, relieve patients’ symptoms related to early OA.
