THE NEW PLASTIC METHOD OF ARTICULAR HYALINE CARTILAGE DEFECTS WITH COMBINED CELLULAR-TISSUE GRAFT

Abstract

The new method of restoration of injured articular cartilage using plasty of intraoperative bone-cartilage defects with combined allograft based on biologic porous carrier and cell culture from stroma of costal cartilage. The transplantation of allogenic culture of chondroblast cells on demineralized spongy substance «Lioplast» ensure еру the formation of hyaline cartilage tissue on the site of defect and amplified development of microcirculatory network in subchondral bone. The heterotopic principle obtaining cellular material allows to perform low-traumatic operations.
