Figure 7. Anatomically shaped tissue-engineered cartilage for biological joint resurfacing of the hip (top) and femoral condyle of the knee (bottom).

Figure 7.

(left) Lesions and joint anatomy are mapped from MRI (or CT) and used to prepare an anatomically shaped mold of the hip or knee. (middle) 3D scaffolds were woven from PCL fibers. The implant is formed in a mold, matching anatomical contours of the articular surfaces, and seeded with human ASCs (right). Tissue-engineered hip resurfacing implant culture after 5 weeks of in vitro culture. Figure adapted from 90.
