  2. Articular cartilage damage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articular_cartilage_damage

    Articular cartilage damage is often the cause of severe pain, knee swelling, substantial reduction in mobility and severe restrictions to one's activities. Over the last decades, however, research has focused on regenerating damaged joints. These regenerative procedures are believed to delay osteoarthritis of injuries on the articular cartilage ...

  3. Stem cell transplantation for articular cartilage repair

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_transplantation...

    Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells found in multiple human adult tissues, including bone marrow, synovial tissues, and adipose tissues. Since they are derived from the mesoderm, they have been shown to differentiate into bone, cartilage, muscle, and adipose tissue. [1][2] MSCs from embryonic sources have shown promise ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoarthritis

    Osteoarthritis (OA) is a type of degenerative joint disease that results from breakdown of joint cartilage and underlying bone. [5][6] It is believed to be the fourth leading cause of disability in the world, affecting 1 in 7 adults in the United States alone. [7] The most common symptoms are joint pain and stiffness. [1]

  5. Articular cartilage repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articular_cartilage_repair

    The healthy bone and cartilage are taken from areas of low stress in the joint so as to prevent weakening the joint. [11] Depending on the severity and overall size of the damage multiple plugs or dowels may be required to adequately repair the joint, which becomes difficult for osteochondral autografts. The clinical results may deteriorate ...

  6. Autologous chondrocyte implantation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autologous_Chondrocyte...

    Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI, ATC code M09AX02 (WHO)) is a biomedical treatment that repairs damages in articular cartilage. ACI provides pain relief while at the same time slowing down the progression or considerably delaying partial or total joint replacement (knee replacement) surgery. ACI procedures aim to provide complete ...

  7. Knee cartilage replacement therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_cartilage_replacement...

    The human body's own cartilage is still the best material for lining knee joints. This drives efforts to develop ways of using a person's own cells to grow, or re-grow cartilage tissue to replace missing or damaged cartilage. One cell-based replacement technique is called autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) or autologous chondrocyte ...
