Abstract:
Cellular aspects on articular cartilage growth and development are discussed. Cells with chondrogenic potential are described and current treatment models for cartilage injuries are considered. A rabbit model for treatment of articular cartilage defects with autologous cultured and transplanted chondrocytes for treatment of knee cartilage defects in humans are discussed.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
