Executive Summary
CryoLife has reported that results from an eight-year follow-up study back the use of cryopreserved human meniscus cartilage for knee reconstructive surgery. Of 136 patients who had undergone total or partial meniscus replacement surgery using the cryopreserved cartilage, 90% said their surgery had been a success. The study was presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons in San Francisco earlier this month. In 1989, CryoLife initiated a programme for the recovery and cryopreservation of human meniscus tissue. Since then, the Atlanta, Georgia company has provided meniscus tissue to support more than 3,410 implant procedures in the US and Canada.
