What are the recent advances in meniscus surgery?
Preserving the meniscus has become a priority. Stable tears are left alone. If most of the meniscus is torn and deficient, Meniscus transplantation is carried out in few centers. In this procedure the entire meniscus harvested from cadaver knees are used to transplant into the recipient. In addition cellular and molecular biology researches aim to improve the healing potential of the meniscus.
