Meniscus Tissue Engineering with Nanofibrous Scaffolds
The fibrocartilaginous menisci dwell between the articular surfaces of the knee and play a central role in joint function. Damage through trauma or degenerative changes is a common orthopaedic injury, disrupts the meniscus mechanical function, and leads to the precocious development of osteoarthritis. The current standard of treatment is removal of the damaged tissue, a procedure that does not ...
متن کاملRepair of Avascular Meniscus Tears with Electrospun Collagen Scaffolds Seeded with Human Cells
The self-healing capacity of an injured meniscus is limited to the vascularized regions and is especially challenging in the inner avascular regions. As such, we investigated the use of human meniscus cell-seeded electrospun (ES) collagen type I scaffolds to produce meniscal tissue and explored whether these cell-seeded scaffolds can be implanted to repair defects created in meniscal avascular ...
متن کاملTwo-Tunnel Transtibial Repair of Radial Meniscus Tears Produces Comparable Results to Inside-Out Repair of Vertical Meniscus Tears.
BACKGROUND Radial meniscus tears disrupt the circumferential fibers and thereby compromise meniscus integrity. Historically, radial tears were often treated with meniscectomy because of an incomplete understanding of the biomechanical consequences of these tears, limited information regarding the biomechanical performance of repair, and the technical difficulty associated with repair. There is ...

متن کاملPhysical Examination for Meniscus Tears
Meniscus injuries, both from athletic activities and activities of daily living, are a common reason of referral for orthopedic evaluation. With an annual incidence of approximately 61 per 100,000 individuals in the general population, meniscus tears are one of the most common injuries to the knee and should often be included at the top of the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with...
