Video Summary
Dr. Anel Olivos-Mesa discussed meniscus substitutes for partial and total meniscectomies, highlighting that complex meniscus injuries often lead to osteoarthritis if untreated. She reviewed biological and synthetic implants, such as collagen and polyurethane scaffolds, emphasizing the importance of intact meniscal structures for successful implantation. While synthetic implants show good clinical outcomes in chronic symptomatic post-meniscectomy patients, complications like inflammation and scaffold extrusion occur. Combined procedures with ligament reconstruction yield better results than osteotomies. Cell-enhanced implants showed no significant benefit over non-cell implants. New advances include 3D-printed personalized menisci, offering promising tissue integration and repair options.
