“…Surgical treatment of limited arthritis of the knee includes nonprosthetic treatments such as arthroscopic débridement, meniscus transplantation, cartilage repair, high tibial osteotomy (HTO), or tibial tubercle transposition [13,15,21,29,33,36]. Arthroplasty solutions include unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) or conventional TKA [3,13,15,21,29,33,36].…”

“…Arthroplasty solutions include unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) or conventional TKA [3,13,15,21,29,33,36]. TKA offers high survival and high functional scores when arthritis is affecting the three compartments of the knee; however, TKA does not preserve the bone stock and the ligaments and these points can represent theoretical disadvantages, particularly for young patients with higher demand and higher risk for potential revision [8,16].…”

“…6 In the heart, the shape and intricate folds of a leaflet for heart valves aid in regulating blood flow. 7,8 Given the diversity of size and surface architecture in articular joints, geometry and size matching are critical for the success and longevity of surgical repair, whether it be for cadaveric allografts 9,10 or more commonly used synthetic implants.…”

Quantification of shape fidelity of complex geometries for tissue-engineered constructs has not been thoroughly investigated. The objective of this study was to quantitatively describe geometric fidelities of various approaches to the fabrication of anatomically shaped meniscal constructs. Ovine menisci (n ¼ 4) were imaged using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and microcomputed tomography (mCT). Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic molds were designed from each imaging modality and three-dimensional printed on a Stratasys FDM 3000. Silastic impression molds were fabricated directly from ovine menisci. These molds were used to generate shaped constructs using 2% alginate with 2% CaSO 4 . Solid freeform fabrication was conducted on a custom openarchitecture three-dimensional printing platform. Printed samples were made using 2% alginate with 0.75% CaSO 4 . Hydrogel constructs were scanned via laser triangulation distance sensor. The point cloud images were analyzed to acquire computational measurements for key points of interest (e.g., height, width, and volume). Silastic molds were within AE10% error with respect to the native tissue for seven key measurements, mCT molds for six of seven, mCT prints for four of seven, MRI molds for five of seven, and MRI prints for four of seven. This work shows the ability to generate and quantify anatomically shaped meniscal constructs of high geometric fidelity and lends insight into the relative geometric fidelities of several tissue engineering techniques.
