Augmented repair of radial meniscus tear with biomimetic electrospun scaffold: an in vitro mechanical analysis

Abstract Background Large radial tears that disrupt the circumferential fibers of the meniscus are associated with reduced meniscal function and increased risk of joint degeneration. Electrospun fibrous scaffolds can mimic the topography and mechanics of fibrocartilaginous tissues and simultaneously...
