title: Editorial commentary: collagen meniscal scaffolds.
abstract: Small collagen meniscal scaffolds are a treatment for partial meniscectomy, which is clinically much more common than subtotal or total meniscectomy. The scaffold alone shows promising results, but readers must be mindful of risk of bias in the literature. Addition of stem cells and growth factors is the next step in meniscal tissue engineering.
