Poor osteochondral repair by a biomimetic collagen scaffold: 1-to 3-year clinical and radiological follow-up

摘要

Treatment of osteochondral injuries is challenging, and no gold standard has been established. Layered cell-free scaffolds are a new treatment option for these defects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the osteochondral repair in patients treated with the MaioRegen(A (R)) scaffold, a cell-free biomimetic scaffold consisting of type I collagen and hydroxyapatite. Treatment using this scaffold has previously shown promising clinical results.
