  • osteoarthritis
    • wore down cartillage
  • rheumatoid arthritis:
    • inflamation in the joints causing cartillage breakdown
  • Injury
  • Avascular Necrosis
    • This condition occurs when the blood supply to the bone
  • Tears in the meniscus

Reasons For Knee cartillage replacement

Knee Cartillage replacement

  • Recovery includes physical therapy which is the crucial part to restore joint function and strength.

recovery

  • After formed into a 3D system they are placed into the damaged part of the knee through any of these techniques:
    • Microfracture: Small holes are drilled into the bone beneath the damaged cartilage to stimulate the growth of new cartilage
    • Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI): Cultured chondrocytes are injected into the defect and covered with a membrane to keep them in place.
    • Matrix-induced autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (MACI): Chondrocytes are seeded onto a scaffold before being implanted.

ways the 3D systems are implemented

To create functional cartilage, chondrocytes, MSCs, and iPSC-derived chondrocytes are often combined in 3D culture systems or scaffolds. 3D scaffolds are 3D structures made from biocompatible materials that provide a framework for new cartilage to grow they are designed to degrade over time as new tissue forms.

How Cells are combined to create cartilage

  • Chondrocytes
    • harvested from the patient’s cartilage (autologous) or donor tissue (allogeneic)
  • MSCs
    • sourced from bone marrow or adipose tissue
  • (iPSCs):
    • derived from the patient’s own cells.
