Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Orthopedics
Regenerative Medicine

Background:

Meniscus injuries are common and can lead to osteoarthritis (OA) due to altered knee mechanics.
Current meniscus replacement strategies are limited by the tissue's complex structure, mechanical demands, and poor vascularity.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current clinical treatments for meniscal injuries.
To discuss advancements in cellular therapies, biomaterial implants, and tissue engineering for meniscus repair and replacement.

Main Methods:

Literature review of clinical treatments for meniscal injury.
Analysis of state-of-the-art research in cellular therapies and biomaterials.
Evaluation of cell-based tissue engineering strategies for meniscus regeneration.

Main Results:

Existing therapies for meniscal injury have limitations.
Tissue-engineered biocomposite implants present a potential alternative solution.
Significant challenges remain in developing effective meniscus replacement strategies.

Conclusions:

Tissue-engineered meniscal biocomposite implants may offer a long-term solution for meniscal injury treatment.
Preventing osteoarthritis progression is a key goal for advanced meniscus therapies.
Further research is needed to overcome challenges in meniscus tissue engineering.
