Meniscal damage causes knee pain and can lead to osteoarthritis (OA). This review covers current surgical options and highlights regenerative medicine and tissue engineering for meniscus repair.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Regenerative Medicine
- Biomaterials Science
Background:
- Meniscal damage is a common cause of knee pain, instability, and functional decline.
- It frequently progresses to osteoarthritis (OA), necessitating effective interventions.
- Current treatments have limitations, driving the search for advanced solutions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review current surgical treatments for meniscal damage.
- To explore regenerative medicine and tissue engineering approaches for meniscus repair.
- To provide recommendations for future research and clinical practice.
Main Methods:
- Comprehensive literature review of surgical techniques for meniscal repair.
- Analysis of current regenerative medicine and tissue engineering strategies.
- Evaluation of indications, advantages, and disadvantages of each method.
Main Results:
- Current surgical options include meniscectomy, repair, transplantation, and implants, each with limitations.
- Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering offer promising avenues for functional meniscal regeneration.
- The review details state-of-the-art techniques for meniscus repair.
Conclusions:
- Timely intervention for meniscal damage is crucial to prevent OA progression.
- Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine represent the future of meniscus repair.
- Further research is needed to optimize regenerative strategies for clinical application.
