This treatise offers wisdom aimed at assessing true surgical candidates, exploring the intricacies of meniscal composition and function, an overview of meniscal scaffolds and replacements, and patient examination pearls. Also discussed in depth is cutting edge research concerning meniscal repair enhancement, nanofiber technology as a means of meniscal replacement, and biologic agents directed toward chondral protection. All the science presented will direct the sports medicine practitioner to state-of-the-art treatment aimed at knee preservation. Meniscal repair and regeneration is a rapidly evolving science - early attempts at meniscal restoration or repair resulted in short-term gains which often sacrificed long-term joint integrity. Now, the practitioner is afforded numerous means of retaining or restoring meniscal tissue. Breakthroughs in scaffold and allograft replacement, as featured herein, offer the promise of articular cartilage preservation like never before. In addition, tissue regeneration and gene therapy techniques, featured throughout, offer a glimpse into emerging technologies aimed at preserving or replacing meniscal tissue in previously considered ?hopeless? cases. As such, Meniscal Injuries will be an indispensable resource to orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine practitioners interested in providing the absolute most contemporary and evidence-based care to their patients. 606 $aMeniscus (Anatomy)$xSurgery 606 $aKnee$xWounds and injuries$xTreatment 606 $aKnee$xSurgery 615 0$aMeniscus (Anatomy)$xSurgery. 615 0$aKnee$xWounds and injuries$xTreatment. 615 0$aKnee$xSurgery. 676 $a617.1027 676 $a617.582044 702 $aKelly$b John D.$cIV, 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300091603321 996 $aMeniscal Injuries$91522083 997 $aUNINA
