Meniscus Prosthetic Device Selection and Implantation Methods

A method of treating a damaged meniscus, comprising:

• utilizing a pre-implantation matching process to identify a best suitable meniscus prosthetic device for replacing the damaged meniscus, the pre-implantation matching process comprising a correlation parameters-based matching process that considers an area correlation, a width correlation, a length correlation, and a perimeter correlation, the area correlation defined by a meniscus contact area divided by a medial tibia area, the width correlation defined by an average meniscus width divided by a medial tibia width, the length correlation defined by a medial meniscus length divided by a medial tibia length, and the perimeter correlation defined by a meniscus perimeter divided by a medial tibia perimeter.
