The role of biomaterials in the treatment of meniscal tears.

摘要: Extensive investigations over the recent decades have established anatomical, biomechanical and functional importance of meniscus in knee joint. As a functioning part joint, it serves to prevent deterioration articular cartilage subsequent osteoarthritis. To this end, repair regeneration is particular interest from biomaterial, bioengineering orthopaedic research community. Even though meniscal previously considerable volume, community with evolving material science, biology medical advances are all pushing toward emerging novel solutions approaches successful treatment difficulties. This review presents tactical evaluation latest biomaterials, experiments simulate tears state-of-the-art materials strategies currently used treat tears.
