Durable healing of full-thickness articular cartilage defects has been considered for a long time as a highly desirable, but unlikely event to occur. In recent years, conflicting reports on the outcome of in vitro and in vivo studies on chondrocyte and cartilage grafting into animal and human joints have raised new arguments for and against controlled repair of articular cartilage following injury. Some of the problems result from insufficient characterization of implant and repair tissue, and from too short follow up phases. Here we describe a new approach to repair articular cartilage defects in rabbit knees by allografting chondrocytes cultured in agarose gels.
