The Meniscus Transplant Center in San Francisco integrates the experience of The Stone Clinic, which has one of the oldest and most successful meniscus transplant programs in the world, into one diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation program.
With over 20 years of experience, The Stone Clinic in San Francisco has become a global leader in cartilage replacement and has successfully implanted new cartilage into the knees of hundreds of patients.

- Returns most patients to the activities they enjoyed before injury
- Offers a comprehensive evaluation, treatment, and fitness program
