Excerpt

Articular cartilage injuries predispose to osteoartritis development in the joint and the intrinsic repair capacity of adult hyaline cartilage is limited. Over the years, several surgical techniques have been introduced to improve the repair of injured articular cartilage surfaces, but articular cartilage resurfacing remains a scientific challenge. …
