Meniscal Replacement

The meniscus is commonly referred to as cartilage and is located between the tibia and the femur. It provides shock absorption, stability, and lubrication for the knee joint. Your doctor may recommend a procedure that uses a biologic implant to treat meniscal damage.

Biologic implants are a natural alternative to synthetic and metal implants, and unlike synthetic and metal implants, biologic implants incorporate into the patient’s body.

It is important to discuss questions or concerns with your physician before your surgery.
