Orthobiologics mainly
mesenchymal cells and platelet-rich plasma is a promising treatment option as
it significantly improves surgical repairs in patients with knee meniscal tear.
A recent analysis
published in the Journal PM & R enlightens about the approaches used for
meniscal tear treatment. Meniscal tears are the most frequently occurring
pathology of the knee which happens due to a shear force within the femur and
tibia. The beginning of the meniscal tear treatment involved conventional
measures like physical therapy with referral for operative treatment for
mechanical or persistent indications. As a consequence, the partial meniscectomy
is implemented more than any additional orthopaedic method.
