But that new cartilage tended to be fibrous rather than the native smooth stuff in knees called “hyaline” cartilage. It broke down quickly. Newer methods rely on gluing transplanted cartilage ...

“Biologics and scaffolds, these show promise and are being done off-label in non-weightbearing surfaces to allow for ingrowth of hyaline cartilage into the matrix material onto the adjacent ...

This hyaline-like cartilage more closely recreates the wear characteristics and durability of normal hyaline cartilage than the fibrous or fibrocartilage repair tissue formed by pluripotential ...

Doctors consider it the strongest of the three cartilage types. It has thick layers of strong collagen fibers. Hyaline cartilage is the most common type in the body. This cartilage type is found ...

The nasal chondrocyte grafts produced repair tissue "approaching the composition of native hyaline cartilage," and the repairs were more durable than those based on injections of cells taken from ...

The Agili-C surgical implant is a biological scaffold onto which the body’s own stem cells grow and regenerate the damaged bone and cartilage naturally. Gradually, over six to 12 months, the scaffold ...

In addition, it provides a cushion between your tibia and femur. The meniscus safeguards the hyaline cartilage that lines the knee joint. Each knee joint has two wedge-shaped pieces of soft ...

Elastic cartilage, fibrocartilage, and hyaline cartilage can all be damaged. For example, a slipped disk is a type of fibrocartilage damage, while a hard impact on the ear can cause elastic ...
