The REKREATE project will be an international, multi-centre, non-randomised, prospective single-arm pivotal study. All study patients will receive the FibroFix™ Meniscus scaffold following the provision of informed consent. A study period of 1 year and extended follow up period of up to 3 years is planned , to enable a thorough and complete assessment of the performance of the device when implanted to replace removed or damaged meniscal tissue in humans. The test article for this multi-centre study is the FibroFix™ Meniscus scaffold, which has been developed for repair of defects of the meniscus.
