Video Summary
Dr. Aravind Ativiraha discusses meniscus preservation, focusing on platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a promising method to enhance healing in isolated meniscus repairs, which have high failure rates. He reviews biological treatments like fibrin clot, bone marrow venting, and PRP, emphasizing PRP’s growth factors that promote healing and reduce inflammation. Clinical studies show PRP improves repair survival and patient outcomes, especially without concurrent ACL reconstruction. Challenges include lack of standardization and insurance coverage. Ongoing trials aim to optimize PRP use. Dr. Ativiraha advocates for further high-quality research, believing orthobiologics hold significant future potential in meniscus repair.
