Six-Month Outcomes of Clinically Relevant Meniscal Injury in a Large-Animal Model

This study hypothesized that "OA onset and progression would depend on the extent of injury-based load disruption in the tissue, such that root tears would cause earlier and more severe changes to the joint" and concluded "root tears may cause irreversible joint damage."

Personalized Fiber-Reinforcement Networks for Meniscus Reconstruction

The purpose of this study was to "personalize the fiber-reinforcement network of a meniscus reconstruction scaffold." and concluded "Clinical use of personalized meniscus devices that restore physiologic contact stress distributions may prevent the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis following meniscal injury."
