Abstract
Full-thickness defects of articular cartilage have a poor capacity for repair, because cartilage is an avascular tissue and cartilage injuries thus have a poor reparative capacity, since the tissue response with formation of a fibrin clot is absent. Slight mitotic activity around the edges of a cartilage lesion is not strong enough to repair the defect. With previous operative techniques, chondral lesions could only be repaired by the production of a mainly fibrocartilage tissue with reduced biomechanical properties.
