ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a meniscal augmentation device of biocompatible and at least partially bioresorbable fibers for implantation into a segmental defect of a meniscus in a subject. Upon implantation, the composite of the device and the meniscus establishes a scaffold adapted for ingrowth of meniscal fibrochondrocytes. The invention further pertains to methods of fabricating and using the device.
