Meniscus Tear Market Dynamics
Smith & Nephew developed the FAST-FIXm, a meniscal repair method renowned for its durability, consistency, and efficiency. Biomechanical studies have shown that the vertical mattress suture performed with the FAST-FIX 360 Meniscal Repair System achieves biomechanical characteristics comparable to those of similar sutures executed using open and inside-out techniques.
In September 2020, Smith & Nephew launched the NOVOSTITCH PRO Meniscal Repair System in Europe after successfully obtaining CE mark certification. This system expands repair options for approximately 600,000 European patients annually who previously had only the option of meniscal removal. The NOVOSTITCH PRO Meniscal Repair System is also commercially available in the US, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and selected other countries.
Zimmer Biomet Holdings received FDA clearance in September 2019 for the JuggerStitch meniscal repair device. This advanced technology, representing the next generation of meniscus repair tools, has achieved 510(k) clearance and is now available in the US market. The JuggerStitch features a unique design with two soft anchors connected by a knotless, self-locking suture loop, which aims to enhance tissue preservation and provide surgeons with better control over tissue compression compared to traditional sliding knot implants.
Additionally, in June 2020, Arcuro Medical received FDA approval for its SuperBall Meniscus Repair System.
Meniscus Tear Treatment Market
The therapeutic management of meniscus tears primarily involves the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which help alleviate pain and reduce swelling around the knee. Unfortunately, there is no pharmacological cure for this condition.
Current medical management for meniscus tears is often considered insufficient. However, the effectiveness of treatment can be greatly improved through the use of existing diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventative measures, as well as surgical interventions. Biologics, which are medicines derived from biological sources such as blood, bone marrow, and fat cells, represent an emerging technology. They hold potential as a complementary approach to nonsurgical treatments by aiding tissue repair and reducing knee inflammation.
According to DelveInsight, the meniscus tear market in the 7MM is expected to undergo significant changes during the study period from 2019 to 2032.
Leading Meniscus Tear Companies and Emerging Drugs: Leading companies like Smith & Nephew, Arcuro Medical, and Zimmer Biomet Holdings, among others, are actively working on developing innovative treatments for potential entry into the meniscus tear market.
Meniscus Tear Therapeutic Landscape: Medical devices used for treating meniscus tears include the NOVOSTITCH PRO Meniscal Repair System, JuggarStitch, SuperBall Meniscus Repair System, and others.
Meniscus Tear Overview:
A meniscus tear is an injury to one of the rubbery cartilage bands in the knee that act as shock absorbers. This type of tear can occur suddenly when the knee is twisted while the foot is fixed on the ground, or it can develop gradually as the meniscus loses its elasticity, leading to frayed edges. Meniscus tears are common knee injuries, particularly among athletes and recreational sports enthusiasts, as well as older individuals and those with arthritis. Symptoms typically include pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty extending the knee. Depending on the severity of the tear, surgery may or may not be required.
Diagnosis of a meniscus tear often begins with a physical examination, but may also involve imaging tests such as MRI, X-rays, and arthroscopy.
Management of a meniscus tear depends on factors such as the patient’s age, symptoms, and activity level. Treatment options are categorized into nonsurgical and surgical approaches. Nonsurgical treatments include rest, ice, compression, and elevation; medications to relieve pain; physical therapy; corticosteroid injections; and biologic injections. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and naproxen can help reduce inflammation and pain, while acetaminophen manages pain without addressing inflammation. Corticosteroids, though not healing the tear, can reduce swelling and discomfort when injected directly into the knee. Biologics, which are derived from biological sources such as blood, bone marrow, and fat cells, represent an emerging technology that may complement nonsurgical treatments by promoting tissue healing and reducing inflammation.

Meniscal injuries are common, affecting approximately 61 individuals per 100,000, with a prevalence rate between 12% and 14%. The risk of meniscal tears increases significantly when accompanied by an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, with rates ranging from 22% to 86%. In the United States, out of an estimated 850,000 cases annually, about 10% to 20% of orthopedic surgeries involve meniscus repair. Acute meniscal tears are most frequently seen in men aged 21 to 30 and women aged 11 to 19, with a male-to-female ratio of 2.5:1 to 4:1. Conversely, degenerative meniscal tears are more common in men aged 40 to 60 years.

Meniscus Tears Emerging Therapy Assessment
The dynamics of the meniscus tear market are expected to evolve significantly in the coming years due to advancements in research and development. The launch of new devices is anticipated throughout the forecast period.
Ceterix Orthopaedics, now acquired by Smith & Nephew, completed the STITCH trial, the first prospective multicenter investigation of suture-based repair for horizontal meniscus tears, a common knee injury. The trial, last updated in December 2020 on clinicaltrials.gov, reported positive results in March 2021. The study involved 23 patients with 2-year follow-up data. Freedom from reoperation was 96.0% at 6 months (26/27), 91.7% at 1 year (23/25), and 82.6% at 2 years (19/23). Significant improvements were observed from baseline at 2 years for IKDC (36.7 to 82.5; P < .001), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (52.2 to 89.3; P < .001), Lysholm (50.2 to 87.4; P < .001), and Tegner scores (3.3 to 5.3; P = .007). The minimal clinically important difference was met or exceeded for IKDC and Lysholm scores in 69.2% and 65.4% of patients, respectively. Four patients (6.7%) experienced serious complications, two of which were deemed related to the procedure.
Ortho Regenerative Technologies is developing RESTORE-M, aimed at increasing the number of meniscus repair procedures while reducing meniscectomy procedures. The product, Ortho-M, will be placed into the lesion before it is repaired using the appropriate physical fixation technique. The company plans to complete preclinical studies by 2021 and begin Phase I/II trials.
