Abstract
En degenerates over time because of its inability to withstand the mechanical forces to which it is subjected. We previously reported that recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) improves the repair of full-thickness defects of cartilage as long as six months postoperatively. We have now extended that study to examine the quality of the repair tissue at one year....Keywords
