Their susceptibility to damage and injury is one of the main risk factors for rapid cartilage loss and the development of osteoarthritis. The vascularization pattern and nutritional status of a torn meniscus determine its potential for healing and the success of meniscus surgery. Blood supply is a crucial factor in assessing healing potential. Knee cartilage volume loss and its modification often result from meniscal damage or excision, leading to osteoarthritis. Modern methods for preserving meniscal tissue are currently the treatment of choice. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard for assessing meniscus lesions. It provides a comprehensive evaluation of tear stability and progression risk. Additionally, it offers high sensitivity and specificity. Arthrography combined with computed tomography (CT) can be used for patients who are unable to undergo MRI. Other methods, such as X-ray and ultrasound, are not useful for the typical diagnosis of meniscal lesions. Minimally invasive surgery has become the gold standard for both treatment and diagnosis. Modern techniques, such as all-inside compression sutures and other suturing techniques, are also considered. In contrast, in the past, open total meniscectomy was routinely performed as the gold standard, based on the mistaken belief that the menisci were functionless. Currently, new treatment methods for meniscal lesions are being explored, including mesenchymal stem cells, synthetic implants, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The crucial role of the menisci in knee biomechanics drives the development of modern solutions focused on preserving meniscal tissue.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14062020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,17]],"date-time":"2025-03-17T04:29:28Z","timestamp":1742185768000},"page":"2020","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["The Meniscus: Basic Science and Therapeutic Approaches"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Nikodem","family":"Kuczy\u0144ski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Morphological and Physiological Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum, Mazovian Academy in P\u0142ock, 09-402 P\u0142ock, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Bo\u015b","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Morphological and Physiological Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum, Mazovian Academy in P\u0142ock, 09-402 P\u0142ock, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kinga","family":"Bia\u0142osk\u00f3rska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Morphological and Physiological Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum, Mazovian Academy in P\u0142ock, 09-402 P\u0142ock, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zuzanna","family":"Aleksandrowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Morphological and Physiological Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum, Mazovian Academy in P\u0142ock, 09-402 P\u0142ock, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bartosz","family":"Turo\u0144","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma and Orthopedics, Regional Specialist Hospital in Grudzi\u0105dz, 86-300 Grudzi\u0105dz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Zabrzy\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toru\u0144, 85-094 Bydgoszcz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2098-2799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Klaudia","family":"Bonowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Morphological and Physiological Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum, Mazovian Academy in P\u0142ock, 09-402 P\u0142ock, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Histology and Embryology, Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toru\u0144, 85-092 Bydgoszcz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5445-8821","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maciej","family":"Gagat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Morphological and Physiological Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum, Mazovian Academy in P\u0142ock, 09-402 P\u0142ock, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Histology and Embryology, Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toru\u0144, 85-092 Bydgoszcz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"269","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.22456","article-title":"The Human Meniscus: A Review of Anatomy, Function, Injury, and Advances in Treatment","volume":"28","author":"Fox","year":"2015","journal-title":"Clin.
