Matrix material for a substantially immunologically-compatible meniscal augmentation device of biocompatible and partially bioresorbable fibers is prepared by treatment with oc-galactosidase to eliminate oc-Gal epitopes. Upon implantation into a segmental defect of a meniscus, the composite of the meniscal augmentation device and the meniscus establishes a scaffold adapted for ingrowth of meniscal fibrochondrocytes.
