As the defect of articular cartilage is not amenable to conventional procedures such as microfacture, it can be a good candidate for regenerative therapy with stem cell implantation. More diffuse damage of articular cartilage, seen in osteoarthritis, may also become a target of stem cell therapy because the current treatment modalities do not offer a regenerative option for patients. Other candidates for stem cell treatment are degenerative tendon disorders, including advanced rotator cuff tears, which are not successfully treated by repair techniques.
another helpful series, something I’ve been trying to get my head around.
