We present a novel treatment for post-traumatic arthritis of the hand and fingers using joint resurfacing with cadaveric meniscus. A 20-year-old man presented to the clinic with chronic pain and stiffness after an intra-articular fifth metacarpal fracture. Meniscus allograft, which has been used successfully in treatments for thumb carpometacarpal and radiocarpal degenerative osteoarthritis, was used to reconstruct the joint surface with complete resolution of stiffness and pain.
