2. Stem cell transplantation for articular cartilage repair

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

   Stem cells, as a concept, originated as a theory in the 19th century to potentially allow certain tissues to self-renew. There are five types of stem cells, and MSC's are multi-potent, meaning they are cells that have the ability to develop into more than one type of specialized cell. Mesenchymal stem cells were originally discovered and ...

3. Articular cartilage repair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articular_cartilage_repair

   In particular, mesenchymal stem cells have been shown in animal models to regenerate cartilage. Recently, there has been a published case report of decrease in knee pain in a single individual using autologous mesenchymal stem cells. An advantage to this approach is that a person's own stem cells are used, avoiding transmission of genetic diseases.

4. Knee cartilage replacement therapy - Wikipedia

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

   Because mesenchymal stem cells may regenerate cartilage, cartilage growth in human knees using autologous cultured mesenchymal stem cells is under research and preliminary clinical use, and appears to be safe as of 2016. [11] An advantage to this approach is that a person's own stem cells are used, avoiding tissue rejection by the immune system ...

5. Autologous chondrocyte implantation - Wikipedia

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

   Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI, ATC code M09AX02 ()) 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.

6. Microfracture surgery - Wikipedia

   However, acute traumatic osteochondral lesions or surgically created lesions extending into subchondral bone, e.g. by Pridie drilling, [2] spongialization [3] abrasion [4] or microfracture causing the release of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells from the bone marrow, may heal with repair tissue consisting of fibrous tissue, fibrocartilage or ...
