Materials for cartilage repair following sport articular cartilage injury / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

Knee joint is easily injured in daily life, in particular, incidence rate of articular cartilage is high due to a long-term high pressure stress and poor regeneration capacity. Therefore, articular cartilage injury is hard to be treated and attracts more and more attention in the domain of sport medicine. At present, a large quantity of methods for repairing cartilage is still developing. The recent studies indicate that autoallergic cartilage transplantation is the best method to repair sport articular cartilage injury. However, it is hard to be used widely due to its poor collection. In contrast, cell transplantation is frequently used to repair articular cartilage injury, but scaffold materials involving in long-term instability still need to be further studied in the future.
