A prosthetic device for use as an artificial meniscus is disclosed. The
prosthetic device restores shock absorption, stability, and function to
the knee joint after removal of the damaged natural meniscus. In some
embodiments, the prosthetic device includes an anti-migration feature.
The anti-migration feature is a bridge for engagement with a femur notch
in some instances. Generally, the anti-migration feature allows the
artificial meniscus to be implanted into the patient's knee and maintain
its position within the knee without penetrating the adjacent bone. The
bridge is reinforced with fibers in some instances.
