About this title

Synopsis

This volume thoroughly reviews current concepts on the biological, biochemical, and biomechanical properties of the meniscus, its vital role in the function of the knee, and the clinical management of meniscal injuries. The book provides a sound scientific basis for developing new techniques for repair or replacement of damaged menisci and offers new insights into topics such as meniscal healing, the contribution of the menisci to knee stability, and the role of the menisci in knee osteoarthritis. Noted experts assess the clinical experience with meniscectomy versus repair, outline considerations for meniscal transplant classification and reporting, and discuss laser therapy of the meniscus, the biology of meniscal allograft, and the development of a prosthetic meniscal replacement.
