Abstract:

So, why is Cartilage Repair Still a Problem? Mainly because we still do not seem to understand complex biological and mechanical interaction of articulating surface and subchondral bone. This is probably the reason why all mainstream cartilage repair technologies suffer from two major problems: insufficient peripheral chondral integration (biomechanical problem?) and insufficient longitudinal subchondral integration (nutritional and biomechanical problem?). We may have to accept that this is as good as it gets, at this point in time. However, finding a biological solution for cartilage regeneration is one of the fastest growing areas of research and development in orthopaedics and regenerative medicine in general.
