From donated bodies and limbs to effective 3D printed meniscal scaffolds development: a workingflow proposal. After meniscal scaffolds development by 3D printing/bioprinting, based on MRI/CT scan images, the performances of the constructs may be evaluated by a cadaver-based approach. Donated bodies may represent a precious resource for reliable studies on meniscal substitutes manipulability, mechanics, and fitting, thus constituting an intermediate step toward their future use in clinical practice.
