Although several attempts to improve the repair of injured articular cartilage have recently been described
1-6 , articular cartilage resurfacing remains a formidable challenge. Most current cartilage-repair methods depend on an introduction of chondrogenic cells into the defect area. Which cells are best to use and which donor tissue is best for harvesting the cells have yet to be determined. However, since chondrocytes are responsible for the unique features of articular cartilage, it seems rational to use truly committed chondrocytes to repair an articular cartilage defect.
In Gothenburg, Sweden, the experience with biological articular resurfacing dates back to the early 1980s. This research has been focused on the use of autologous articular chondrocytes
7-10 for the repair of focal articular cartilage defects, even though other chondrogenic cells are possible alternatives. The primary goal of the initial in vitro chondrocyte cell culture is to increase the number of cells in order to provide . . . [Full Text of this Article]
