Area of Science:

  • Musculoskeletal Bioengineering
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Orthopaedic Surgery

Background:

  • Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are advancing orthopaedic surgery.
  • Knee ligament reconstruction is a key area of application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review tissue-engineering strategies for knee ligament reconstruction.
  • To synthesize basic science and clinical translational knowledge.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of PubMed/Medline database.
  • Inclusion of preclinical and clinical studies on knee ligament tissue engineering.
  • Data extraction and assessment by two independent authors.

Main Results:

  • 224 articles were initially reviewed; non-English studies were excluded.
  • Strategies reviewed include stem cells, growth factors, biomaterials, scaffolds, and mechanical stimulation.
  • Both preclinical and clinical studies focusing on knee ligament tissue engineering were identified.

Conclusions:

  • Knowledge in tissue-engineering for ligament reconstruction is expanding.
  • Potential benefits include faster recovery and reduced recurrence.
  • Further high-powered clinical studies are needed for successful translation.
