A member asked:
Docs please tell,are there any meniscus implants to prevent onset of osteoarthritis in injured,stable knee after partial meniscectomy?to keep running

No implants: There are Platelet Rich Plasma PRP injections that some doctors use made from your own blood plasma. Needs special equipment and training for these injections. Some Rheumatologists treat Arthritis in US w this therapy. Running is hard on knees. Maybe consider change in training method, foot wear, sport to prevent further knee problems.

Yes: Yes, the short answer is that meniscal transplants are available. It is really more an issue of what your specific problem is and what treatment options would be best for you. Discuss with your orthopedic surgeon.
