Surgical repair is indicated for certain tear patterns to reduce the risk of joint degeneration, normalize contact forces in the knee, and help restore normal knee kinematics. However, radial meniscus tear repairs fail to completely heal 38% of the time due to tear characteristics, biology, surgical technique, and inadequate rehabilitation. Recent efforts have incorporated biological augmentation to enhance the healing potential of the meniscus. The BioBrace is a biocomposite scaffold designed to mechanically reinforce tissue and biologically enhance healing. The purpose of this article is to describe an all-inside, meniscal radial tear repair augmented with BioBrace.
