O-alg-THAM/gel hydrogels functionalized with engineered microspheres based on mesenchymal stem cell secretion recruit endogenous stem cells for cartilage repair

Bioactive Materials, 2023
Lacking self-repair abilities, injuries to articular cartilage can lead to cartilage degeneration and ultimately result in osteoarthritis. Tissue engineering based on functional bioactive scaffolds are emerging as promising approaches for articular ...

Allogeneic Umbilical Cord-Blood-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Hyaluronate Composite Combined with High Tibial Osteotomy for Medial Knee Osteoarthritis with Full-Thickness Cartilage Defects

Medicina, 2023
Background and Objectives: Although the effects of cartilage repair in patients who are undergoing high tibial osteotomy (HTO) remains controversial, cartilage repair may be required for the full-thickness cartilage defect because of a concern of lower ...

Matrix-Associated Chondroplasty: A Novel Platelet-Rich Plasma and Concentrated Nucleated Bone Marrow Cell–Enhanced Cartilage Restoration Technique

Arthroscopy Techniques, 2014
Bone marrow stimulation techniques such as microfracture for the treatment of articular cartilage defects so far solely reproduce mechanically inferior fibrous cartilage tissue, which might result in unsatisfactory clinical results at midterm.

Signaling Pathways in Cartilage Repair [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2014
In adult healthy cartilage, chondrocytes are in a quiescent phase characterized by a fine balance between anabolic and catabolic activities. In ageing, degenerative joint diseases and traumatic injuries of cartilage, a loss of homeostatic conditions and an up-regulation of catabolic pathways occur.

Biological Knee Reconstruction With Concomitant Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation and Meniscal Allograft Transplantation

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2016
Background: Treating articular cartilage defects and meniscal deficiency is challenging. Although some short- to mid-term follow-up studies report good clinical outcomes after concurrent autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) and meniscal allograft ...

Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation “Segmental-Sandwich” Technique for Deep Osteochondral Defects in the Knee: Clinical Outcomes and Correlation With Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2019
Background: Symptomatic osteochondral defects are difficult to manage, especially in patients with deep (>8-10 mm) empty defects. The restoration of articular congruence is crucial to avoid the progression to osteoarthritis (OA). Purpose: To describe the

Intermediate- to Long-Term Results of Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2017
Background: Cartilage injury associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures is common; however, relatively few reports exist on concurrent cartilage repair with ACL reconstruction.

Identification and clonal characterisation of a progenitor cell sub-population in normal human articular cartilage. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundArticular cartilage displays a poor repair capacity. The aim of cell-based therapies for cartilage defects is to repair damaged joint surfaces with a functional replacement tissue.

A New Technique for Distalization of the Tibial Tubercle That Allows Preservation of the Proximal Buttress

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2018
Background: Tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) is a treatment option for patients with patellofemoral instability and chondrosis. Occasionally, these patients also present with patella alta, and distalization of the tibial tubercle is desirable. Free distal
