Validation. The validation was repeated for each of the 100 menisci from the 50 patients as follows (“validation group”): meniscus No. 1 of patient No. 1 was removed from the available pool. The sizing was performed by the “template meniscus.” The 3D surface model of the ipsilateral side (“original meniscus”) served as the best possible allograft (gold standard). The 3D surface model of the contralateral side corresponded to the 3D-MRI sizing. The meniscal width/length of the contralateral side in MRI corresponded to the 2D-MRI sizing. The derived meniscal width/length by the ipsilateral tibia plateau in RX corresponded to the 2D-RX sizing method. The best match (“selected meniscus”) out of the “allograft pool” was selected based on the different “template menisci.” Finally, the “selected meniscus” was compared with the “original meniscus.” This procedure was repeated for all 100 menisci of the “validation group”
