Exogenous stimulation of meniscus cells for the purpose of tissue engineering the knee meniscus.Injuries to avascular regions of menisci do not heal and result in significant discomfort to patients. Current treatments, such as partial meniscectomy, alleviate the symptoms, but lead to premature ...
Additionally, by preserving the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), lateral meniscus, and surrounding soft-tissue envelope, it more effectively retains natural knee kinematics [19,20]. The main concern for UKA is higher overall revision rates, especially at long-term follow-up [2,3,4,5,6,7]....
