Abstract

The importance of the present study is linked to how the contact forces act on the knee meniscus in particular, considering the femoral condyles and tibial plateau: this can be useful as a base for the ultimate creation of tissue-engineered biphasic scaffolds, which can mimic the native tissue complex, for meniscal repair or regeneration.
