Recognize specific abnormal post-operative complications at immediate and serial follow-up MR imaging 4. Provide factors that may influence clinical outcomes of MAT  

1. Discuss indications and patients eligibility for MAT. 2. Understand surgical technique of MAT with schematic illustration. 3. Review radiographic and MRI features of normal appearances of postoperative MAT: Bone plugs in tibia, normal knee alignment, signal intensity and partial extrusion of transplanted meniscus, focal synovitis 4. Overview of post-operative complications of MAT at follow-up MRI- meniscal tear and progressive extrusion, progressive articular cartilage loss, post operative hematoma or fibrosis. 5.
