Regeneration of Articular Cartilage in Experimental Osteoarthrosis after Injection of a Complex Polyacrylamide-Hyaluronic Gel

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

The regenerative capacity of articular cartilage was assessed after injection of Matricin polyacrylamide-hyaluronic gel into the knee joints of nine rabbits with a model of osteoarthrosis. Matricin decreased dystrophic and destructive changes in articular cartilage previously induced by exposure to papain solution and produced a significant increase in the regenerative capacity of the damaged hyaline cartilage.
