Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Enhanced Healing of the Medial Collateral Ligament of the Knee Joint
Background and Objectives: The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is one of the major supporting ligaments of the knee joint, and MCL injuries are common where excessive valgus loading is applied to the knee joint. Although most MCL injuries can be treated
