Abstract
Biological augmentation techniques and meniscus tissue engineering strategies are being devised to enhance the likelihood and rate of healing in meniscus repair. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that the introduction of cellular elements of blood, bone marrow, and related growth factors has the potential to enhance meniscus repair. The next area where the biomaterials play a main role in meniscus repair is partial or total meniscal replacement with 3D scaffolds. The panoply of biomaterials that has been used in meniscus tissue engineering strategies is presented. The short guide how to use these in clinical practice with expected outcomes is described.
