Article Synopsis
- At least 760,000 outpatient meniscectomies are performed annually in the U.S., which can lead to altered joint biomechanics and later degenerative changes, especially in younger, active patients who want to avoid knee replacements.
- Synthetic meniscal implants, like NUsurface, are designed to restore joint function and reduce pain after meniscectomy.
- A preliminary study involving 100 patients showed that those with the meniscal implants experienced significantly improved outcomes compared to a control group, with similar rates of adverse events reported in both groups.
