Abstract

There are several cartilage regeneration procedures under development that offer potential benefits over the current techniques. We review the basics of each of these procedures and give an update on the latest clinical research involving these products. The procedures are grouped into those that are 2-step autologous procedures, 1-step autologous procedures, and an allograft 1-step procedure. A review of scaffolds and hydrogels is also provided. The developing companies' Web sites are included to facilitate further examination.
