Computer-assisted arthroplasty using bioengineered autografts.

Computer-assisted arthroplasty using bioengineered autografts.

Recent advances in tissue-engineered cartilage open the door to new clinical treatments of joint lesions. Common to all therapies with in-vitro-engineered autografts is the need for optimal fit of the construct to allow screwless implantation and optimal integration into the live joint. Computer-ass...
