Biological Treatment in Meniscus Injury
Abstract
Abstract Meniscal injuries, common in sports, often cause knee pain and instability. The meniscus plays a key role in pressure distribution and joint stability, making its repair essential. Treatments range from conservative approaches to surgical interventions, with growing interest in biological factors such as growth factors, mesenchymal stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, fibrin clot, and tenocyte to enhance healing. This review compares the effects of these biological agents in meniscal repair, examining their mechanisms, limitations, and clinical outcomes. While promising, their efficacy varies depending on injury type and patient factors. Further research is needed to refine these therapies and improve patient recovery.
