Hello,

As said in the title, I have a question about an artificial meniscus implant. Due to constant troubles with my left knee, and subsequental removal of my lateral meniscus in my left knee, I am considering getting an artificial implant. I would like to know how do they attach the meniscus inside? I am reading on a few articles, which say no attachement is necessary but it unclear to me whether this is the same in lateral and in medial meniscus. Is it all the same in both? Does wary on the material used to make the implant?

To my understanding, this is quiet a new treatment, but in any case any information would be welcomed.

Cheers, Janko
