Here are five insights:
1. The pilot feasibility studies examined the use of Ortho RTi’s “Ortho-R” hybrid implants for meniscus repair in ovine models.
2. In the first study, researchers found one of four defects treated with Ortho-R experienced complete repair and repair tissue integration after three months.
3. The second study saw one of two defects treated with Ortho-R undergo complete repair and repair tissue integration.
4. Sole platelet rich plasma or wrapping did not promote any healing.
5. Researchers concluded Ortho-R injectable implants showed potential to enhance meniscus repair outcomes in pre-clinical models.
