Articular cartilage (AC) is highly resilient and deformable. Osteochondral scaffolds have been developed to repair cartilage by mimicking the structure and function of native tissues. Our experimental model was conducted on adult sheep, commonly used as an animal model for cartilage studies, to assess the effect of early loading after osteochondral implant placement.

Abstract

Articular cartilage (AC) is highly resilient and deformable. Osteochondral scaffolds have been developed to repair cartilage by mimicking the structure and function of native tissues. Our experimental model was conducted on adult sheep, commonly used as an animal model for cartilage studies, to assess the effect of early loading after osteochondral implant placement.
