FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE OF A BI-LAYERED CHITOSAN-NANO-HYDROXYAPATITE OSTEOCHONDRAL SCAFFOLD: A PRE-CLINICAL IN VITRO TRIBOLOGICAL STUDY

Functional performance of a bi-layered chitosan-nano-hydroxyapatite osteochondral scaffold: a pre-clinical in vitro tribological study

Osteochondral grafts are used for repair of focal osteochondral lesions.Autologous grafts are the gold standard treatment; however, limited graft availability and donor site morbidity restrict use.Therefore, there is a clinical need for different graft sources/materials which replicate natural cartilage function.Chitosan has been proposed for this
