摘要:
Meniscus prosthetic devices (100,370) are disclosed.The meniscus prosthetic devices are configured toreplace the functions of a healthy natural meniscus. Methods ofmanufacturing (460), selecting (202), and implanting (340/350)prosthetic devices for use as a replacement meniscus are alsodisclosed. The methods of manufacturing the prosthetic devicesinclude injection molding polymers with reinforcing fibers insome instances. The selection methods include a pre-implantation selection method and a during-implantation selectionmethod in some instances. The methods of implanting meniscusprosthetic devices are utilized for replacing a damagedmeniscus in some instances. Collectively, the meniscusprosthetic devices and associated methods are utilized for treatingpatients with damaged menisci.
