Meniscal injuries present challenges due to their prevalence, limited regenerative capacity, and inconsistent treatment outcomes. Printed-engineered meniscus substitutes (PEMS) offer a promising alternative. This study aimed to develop a roadmap (RMap) illustrating the current state of tissue engineering for PEMS. A review of literature on meniscus, scaffolding, bioprinting, and tissue engineering was conducted, analyzing bioprinting processes, biomaterials, cells, and biomolecules. The findings were used to evaluate biomimicry and innovation potential, producing an RMap that outlines the scientific and technological landscape, facilitating knowledge management and guiding the development of commercially viable PEMS.
