Abstract:
The healing potential of the meniscus is limited because of the complex morphological features and insufficient blood supply. Various surgical procedures are used to treat meniscal lesions, such as partial meniscectomy, repair, and allograft transplantation. On the other hand, such strategies cannot fully regenerate and restore the morphology and functional aspects of the meniscus. This paper reviews the key aspects concerning meniscus regeneration, biological augmentation strategies, meniscus replacement scaffolds, cell therapies, and emerging tissue engineering technologies.
