Extensive scientific investigations in recent decades have established the anatomical,
biomechanical, and functional importance that the meniscus holds within the knee joint. As a …

Wounds are a consequence of disruption in the structure, integrity, or function of the skin or
tissue. Once a wound is formed following mechanical or chemical damage, the process of …

Background Increased contact stresses after meniscectomy have led to an increased focus
on meniscal preservation strategies to prevent articular cartilage degeneration. Platelet-rich …

Over the past 2 decades there has been a profound shift in our perception of the role of the
meniscus in the knee joint. Orthopaedic opinion now favors salvaging and restoring the …

Considering the intrinsic poor self-healing capacity of meniscus, tissue engineering has
become a new direction for the treatment of meniscus lesions. However, disturbed by …

Background: Indications for surgical meniscal repair are limited, and failure rates remain
high. Thus, new ways to augment repair and stimulate meniscal regeneration are needed …

PURPOSE: The aim of this systematic review was to address tissue engineering and
regenerative medicine (TERM) strategies applied to the meniscus, specifically (1) clinical …

Purpose The purpose of this review was to evaluate the role of biological augmentation and
tissue engineering strategies in meniscus surgery. Although clinical (human), preclinical …

Background: Presently, the treatment options available for patients with horizontal
degenerative cleavage tears of the meniscus are limited. These tears are considered an …

Abstract Purpose of Review There is little doubt that the consensus has changed to favor
preservation of meniscal function where possible. Accordingly, the indications for meniscal …
