LOMBARDERO, G et al. Arthroscopic treatment of equine full-thickness chondral defects with constructs of collagen encapsulated cells. Universidad y ciencia [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.2, pp.227-231. ISSN 0186-2979.

A full-thickness chondral defect in the stifle joint of eight mares was treated by perforation of the subchondral bone. In addition, the experimental group received an arthroscopic implant of a tissue-engineered construct. The objective was the arthroscopic evaluation of the quality of the repair tissue, six months after the treatments. The experimental group presented a statistically significant (p = 0.001) improvement in the repair tissue.

Palabras llave : Chondral defect; arthroscopic implant; construct; tissue engineering.
