Meniscus repair is increasingly favored over partial meniscectomy to prevent osteoarthritis. While effective, challenges remain in healing and rehabilitation, necessitating further research into biological enhancements.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Biomedical engineering
- Sports medicine
Background:
- Meniscus injuries are common, often leading to osteoarthritis.
- Partial meniscectomy was the standard, but meniscus repair is gaining prominence.
- Expanding indications for meniscus repair aim to preserve joint function.
Conclusions:
- Meniscal repair restores lower limb mechanics and reduces osteoarthritis incidence.
- Poor vascularity of meniscus tissue presents repair challenges.
- Future research should focus on biological enhancement and personalized rehabilitation.
