Abstract
The treatment of meniscus injuries has recently been facing a paradigm shift toward the field of tissue engineering, with the aim of regenerating damaged and diseased menisci as opposed to current treatment techniques. This review focuses on the structure and mechanics associated with the meniscus. The meniscus is defined in terms of its biological structure and composition. Biomechanics of the meniscus are discussed in detail, as an understanding of the mechanics is fundamental for the development of new meniscal treatment strategies. Key meniscal characteristics such as biological function, damage (tears), and disease are critically analyzed. The latest technologies behind meniscal repair and regeneration are assessed.
期刊介绍：
Since 1999, the Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering has been capturing major advancements in the expansive realm of biomedical engineering. Encompassing biomechanics, biomaterials, computational genomics and proteomics, tissue engineering, biomonitoring, healthcare engineering, drug delivery, bioelectrical engineering, biochemical engineering, and biomedical imaging, the journal remains a vital resource. The current volume has transitioned from gated to open access through Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program, with all articles published under a CC BY license.
