To the problem of activating the processes regulating articular cartilage structure recovery (review of literature and our own data)

The modern views about the possibilities and techniques of surgical treatment for articular cartilage injuries and diseases using cell technologies presented based on the literature analysis and on the results of our own studies. Clinical and experimental morphological studies have demonstrated the use of cell technologies for subchondral zone tunneling according to the technique developed at our Center to be of high efficiency in terms of reparative osteo- and chondrogenesis stimulation.
