The Application of Tissue Engineering and Biological Materials on Exercise-Induced Meniscus Injury

Article Preview

Abstract:

The development of tissue engineering provides a new way for the repair and reconstruction of meniscal injury. Using this technology to build a functional meniscus in the prevention of complications after meniscectomy has important significance. Because of the blood supply characteristics of the meniscus, meniscal injury caused no blood flow region do not have the ability to heal. The development of tissue engineering provides a new way for the repair and reconstruction of meniscal injury. The repair of meniscal scaffold materials more reports mainly include natural biological materials, synthetic materials, nanomaterials etc. The study of tissue engineering meniscus has achieved initial results, but are in the experimental stage of the scaffold material, there is no an ideal material. Therefore, the search for a good cell compatibility, controllable degradation rate and hot research has certain mechanical strength of scaffold materials is still the meniscus tissue engineering.
