Tratamiento de lesiones del cartílago articular con terapia celular

Approaches used to access the stream produce a fibrocartilaginose tissue which is not an articular cartilage. Implantation of autologous chondrocytes and autologous mosaicplasties induces a quality better articular cartilage. Furthermore both techniques involve damage in the sane cartilage; because of trying to get a big amount of chondrocytes or because of extraction osteochondral cylinder which will be implanted in the injured joint. The stem cells are a promising toll to repair articular cartilage, however they are in a previous experimentation step yet. Although the present studies using cellular therapy improves clinically and functionally, it is not able to regenerate an articular cartilage which offer resistance the degeneration process.
