ABSTRACT
Meniscus injuries appear to be becoming increasingly common and pose a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. However, there is no curative approach for dealing with defects in the inner meniscus region due to its avascular nature. Numerous strategies have been applied to regenerate and repair meniscus defects and native tissue-based strategies have received much attention. Native tissue usually has good biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties and a suitable microenvironment for cellular growth, adhesion, redifferentiation, extracellular matrix deposition and remodeling. Classically, native tissue-based strategies for meniscus repair and regeneration are divided into autogenous and heterogeneous tissue transplantation. Autogenous tissue transplantation is performed more widely than heterogeneous tissue transplantation because there is no immunological rejection and the success rates are higher. This review first discusses the native meniscus structure and function and then focuses on the use of the autogenous tissue for meniscus repair and regeneration. Finally, it summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of heterogeneous tissue transplantation. We hope that this review provides some suggestions for the future design of meniscus repair and regeneration strategies.
