Fixation of Hydrogel Constructs for Cartilage Repair in the Equine Model: A Challenging Issue

Abstract

The use of AFG should be preferred to xenogeneic products in the horse, but AFG is subject to individual variations and laborious to make. The PCL anchor provides the best fixation; however, this technique involves the whole osteochondral unit, which entails a different conceptual approach to cartilage repair.
