First-in-human exploratory trial assessing safety, feasibility, and efficacy of artificial protein (silk-elastin) in promoting healing in patients with meniscus injuries

Abstract Meniscal tears, especially those in avascular regions, pose a significant risk for osteoarthritis if repair fails. While meniscal repair is the preferred method for preserving knee function, it often has a high failure rate in avascular zones. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and pot...
