Articular Cartilage Reconstruction
EF 2016-17
Résumé
Damage to the tissue that lines the surface of the bones of the knees, and that provide smooth joint motion, can ultimatelyprogress to form cracks and defects. These cracks and defects result in the pain associated with arthritis, and is calledosteoarthritis. We plan on developing a treatment method wherein we will fill these defects before they can reach the stagewhere the joint motion is compromised and the patient experiences the pain associated with this irreversible damage. Thetreatment involves a surgeon injecting into the defect a polymer in water solution that also contains stem cells harvestedfrom fat. The polymer + cells solution cures in the tissue, filling the space and the stem cells induce healing of the damagedtissue.
