Abstract:
Methods and devices are provided for regenerating a meniscus. The devices (20) comprise a layer (22) of toughened naturally occurring extracellular matrix. The devices (20) may, optionally, further comprise a biologic material (60) to provide a framework for meniscus regeneration. The methods comprise the steps of removing a portion of a meniscus to provide a space (16), and inserting a device (20) comprising a layer (22) of toughened naturally occurring extracellular matrix into the space.
