Abstract
At present, there is no need to convince anyone that menisci are crucial structures dealing with a huge number of responsibilities, and its absence in a knee joint results in irretrievable chondral damage. A lot of methods have been recently developed to treat meniscal tears: physical therapy as a first and, for some cases, a last step, bonding by biodegradable sutures, screws, or arrows, collagen and polyurethane scaffolds designed for partial meniscus replacement, and finally allograft transplantation. However, all of them have numerous limitations and can be used in specific conditions only. That is the reason why partial and total meniscectomy is up to this time a common operation in the case of degenerative or complex meniscus tears despite its well-known degenerative consequences. Trials to overcome those limitations are ongoing, and the challenge to invent a long-term successful regeneration method or to design a substitute that well mimics an anatomical meniscus is still in front of us.
