Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: The options available after meniscus loss offer only limited chances for a long-term success. In the following experimental study, we investigated the effect of meniscus tissue engineering on properties of the collagen meniscus implant (CMI). METHODS: Autologous fibrochondrocytes, obtained per biopsy from adult Merino sheep (n=25), were released from the matrix, cultured in-vitro and seeded into CMI scaffolds (n=10, group 1). Following a 3-week in-vitro culture, the tissue engineer...     »
