An object of the present invention is to provide a method for treating defects of articular cartilage or meniscus of a patient using in vivo chondrogenesis of synovium-derived MSCs.

Grade 3 corresponds to a abnormal signal in the meniscus extending over a large portion of the meniscus and communicating with at least one articular surface of the meniscus.

Grade 1 is a non-articular fissure, focal or diffuse the meniscus.

Both the meniscus and articular cartilage can get damaged in sports.

articular surfaces between which an articular disc, also called a meniscus, is positioned.

He or she will check for tenderness along the joint line where the meniscus sits.

The present methods and systems are particularly useful for removing tissue within joints, e.g., synovial tissue, meniscus, articular cartilage and the like.

This occurs due to degeneration or "wear and tear" of the articular cartilage, and degeneration or surgical removal of the meniscus.

The present application discloses compositions, methods and devices for treatment of degenerative cartilaginous structures of an arthritic joint, including articular cartilage and the meniscus.

A meniscus controller is arranged to control the shape of each meniscus.

A pressure of the first meniscus and/or the second meniscus is determined.

The device is then retracted out of the meniscus, leaving behind a stitch across the meniscal tear inside the meniscus.

This occurs due to degeneration or “wear and tear” of the articular cartilage, and degeneration or surgical removal of the meniscus.

The articular disc, commonly referred to as the meniscus, is a fibro-cartilaginous biconcave structure that provides the sliding surface for any mandibular condyle, leading...

The knee’s meniscus is also made of cartilage, but it can’t be regenerated like articular cartilage can.
