Meniscal tears are a common musculoskeletal pathology in the United States, affecting 61 in every 100,000 people. Surgical repair is indicated for certain tear patterns to reduce the risk of joint degeneration, normalize contact forces in the knee, and help restore normal knee kinematics. However, radial meniscus tear repairs fail to completely heal 38% of the time due to tear characteristics, biology, surgical technique, and inadequate rehabilitation. Recent efforts have incorporated biological augmentation to enhance the healing potential of the meniscus. The BioBrace is a biocomposite scaffold designed to mechanically reinforce tissue and biologically enhance healing. The purpose of this article is to describe an all-inside, meniscal radial tear repair augmented with BioBrace.
在美国，半月板撕裂是一种常见的肌肉骨骼疾病，每10万人中就有61人受其影响。对于某些撕裂模式，需进行手术修复以降低关节退变风险、使膝关节接触力正常化，并帮助恢复膝关节的正常运动学。然而，由于撕裂特征、生物学特性、手术技术和康复不足，38%的桡侧半月板撕裂修复未能完全愈合。最近的研究采用了生物增强技术来提高半月板的愈合潜力。BioBrace是一种生物复合材料支架，旨在机械增强组织并在生物学上促进愈合。本文的目的是描述一种使用BioBrace增强的全关节镜下桡侧半月板撕裂修复术。
