Meniscus Repair and Replacement: New Techniques, Indications and Biologic Augmentations (AANA22)-Biologic Augmentation for Meniscus Repair

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Tom Carter discusses various biologic augmentation techniques for meniscus repair. He credits Lee Pace, Scott Rodeo, Catherine Robertson, and Tom D. Bernadette for their contributions. Scott discusses the different biologic targets for treatment, such as synovial cell homing, cell proliferation, matrix synthesis, and inflammation reduction. He reviews different methods for biologic augmentation, including synovial abrasion, autogenous fibrin clot, microfracture, platelet-rich fibrin matrix, bone marrow-derived cells, synovial cells, and collagen scaffolds. He also mentions the potential use of physical modalities like shockwave therapy and low-intensity pulse ultrasound. Scott concludes by emphasizing the importance of considering tear patterns and mechanical load in meniscus healing. The video does not provide any specific credits to the sources of the research mentioned.
