Abstract

An essential component of a healthy knee joint is the meniscus. Complex fibro cartilaginous tissue called the meniscus is what keeps proper biomechanics in place. Meniscal injury is frequently associated with active lifestyles. In order to aid in the recovery of meniscal disorders, current meniscal tissue engineering and tissue regeneration research includes polymeric biomaterials, cell-based therapies, growth factors, and 3D printed hybrid scaffolds. Additive manufacturing, often known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is able to create functional physical components with or without porosity by layer-by-layer deposition of the materials using 3D computer models. This chapter discusses the evolution of the computer-aided design (CAD) approach for creating meniscal scaffolds, as well as tips on how to optimise the internal architecture, cutting-edge materials, and manufacturing factors for the best biomimetic performance. The review study also covers the advantages and disadvantages of producing meniscal scaffolds using 3D printing technology.
