The chondral defect is first debrided circumferentially back to a healthy rim of surrounding normal cartilage (Figures 1, 2). Any fibrous tissue or remaining damaged cartilage is removed from the ...

the researchers tested it in sheep with cartilage defects in the stifle joint, a complex joint in the hind limbs similar to ...

the use of cultured autologous chondrocytes fills the defect with cells of a committed pathway to develop hyaline-like cartilage. This hyaline-like cartilage more closely recreates the wear ...

Baseline cartilage damage, higher Kellgren-Lawrence grade, greater pain during walking, higher lateral ground reaction force impulse, greater time spent lying and lower vertical ground reaction force ...

Osteochondral defects (OCDs) can cause damage to cartilage and underlying bone, leading to chronic pain and loss of joint ...
