Abstract
Osteoarticular (OA) transplant hyaline cartilage may deteriorate, and ultimately result in "fibrocartilage" at 2 years. Long-term OA transplant outcomes may be inferior to autologous chondrocyte transplantation, yet this conclusion is based on a single, prospective comparative study. The promise of an ideally conceived, tissue-engineered, OA transplantation graft remains distant.
