About this trial

The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of AM3101 to facilitate meniscal repair and reduce the incidence of non-healing complications and morbidities associated with a failed meniscal repair. This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blinded, multi-center study.
