More than 1 million procedures for the total or partial removal of the meniscus in the knee joint are performed in the United States and Europe each year. These meniscectomies lead to degenerative changes of the knee and to immobility of the patients. A polyurethane scaffold is described here, which has been developed as an alternative repair solution.
