A longitudinal red–red peripheral lesion repaired by meniscal suturing has the best chance of healing. Already in 1936, King stated that "for a meniscal tear to heal the torn meniscus must communicate with its peripheral blood supply" [21]....
(e.g. cartilage, inflamed tissue, or bone spurs) within the joint cavity is removed from the joint. In another treatment called meniscus repair a torn segment of the meniscus is removed and/or the torn edges are sutured together. In each of these procedures, the load reducing device is ...

How could a torn meniscus affect the function of the knee joint? What are the two primary processes of wound healing? Will the region of damaged tissue heal and regain function? Explain why or why not? Identify and describe common patellofemoral pathologic conditi...
An ACL injury can result in recurring knee instability, meniscus tears, and even cartilage injury, increasing the risk of osteoarthritis and disability [3]. Hence, early treatment of ACL injury is essential for maintaining joint health. Currently, ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is regarded as the best...
Based on clinical MRI scan data of normal human knee joint, an accurate three-dimensional finite element model of the knee joint was established to simulate the meniscus at different states: including complete, horizontal torn, repaired and at different degrees of healing. An animal model was ...
