Description

Cola novedosa para la reconstrucción del cartílago.
Campo y antecedentes de la invención
La presente invención se refiere en general a un implante y más en concreto a un material de implante en forma de pasta o gel para un defecto del cartílago.
El daño y deterioro del cartílago articular presentan problemas médicos a la población normal que son tratados por cirujanos ortopédicos. En Estados Unidos, cada año se realizan 500.000 operaciones de reparación de articulaciones. Estas incluyen aproximadamente 125.000 artroplastias de cadera completa y 150.000 de rodilla completa y más de 41.000 operaciones artroscópicas abiertas para reparar defectos de los cartílagos de la rodilla.
En la articulación de la rodilla, el tejido del cartílago articular forma un revestimiento orientado hacia la cavidad de la articulación por un lado y que por otro lado está unido a la superficie ósea subcondral mediante una capa estrecha de tejido de cartílago calcificado. El cartílago articular (cartílago hialino) consiste principalmente en una matriz extracelular con una escasa población de condrocitos distribuidos por todo el tejido. El cartílago articular está formado por condrocitos, un retículo de fibrillas colagenosas de tipo II, proteoglicanos y agua. Los condrocitos activos son únicos ya que tienen una rapidez de renovación relativamente baja y se distribuyen escasamente por los alrededores de la matriz. Los colágenos proporcionan al tejido su forma y resistencia a la tensión y la interacción entre los proteoglicanos y el agua proporciona al tejido resistencia a la compresión, elasticidad y durabilidad. El cartílago hialino proporciona una superficie de contacto con poca fricción sobre las partes óseas de la articulación. Si el revestimiento se desgasta o daña produciendo lesiones, el movimiento de la articulación puede producir dolor o verse sustancialmente restringido. Aunque el hueso dañado puede normalmente regenerase de manera satisfactoria, la regeneración del cartílago hialino es bastante limitada debido a la limitación de sus capacidades regenerativas y reparativas.
Las lesiones de cartílago articular normalmente no se curan o sólo se curan parcialmente en determinadas condiciones biológicas debido a la falta de nervios, vasos sanguíneos y un sistema linfático. La limitada capacidad reconstructiva del cartílago hialino da normalmente como resultado la generación de tejido reconstructivo carente de la estructura y de las propiedades biomecánicas del cartílago normal. En líneas generales, la curación del defecto tiene como resultado un tejido reconstructivo fibrocartilaginoso que carece de la estructura y de las propiedades biomecánicas del cartílago hialino y se degrada con el tiempo. Las lesiones de cartílago articular están frecuentemente asociadas con discapacidad y con síntomas tales como dolor de las articulaciones, fenómenos de bloqueo y funcionamiento reducido o alterado. Es difícil tratar las lesiones debido a la estructura y función peculiares del cartílago hialino. Se cree que tales lesiones degeneran en formas de osteoartritis. La osteoartritis es la causa principal de discapacidad y deterioro en individuos de mediana edad y más mayores, lo que implica costes económicos, sociales y psicológicos significativos. Cada año, la osteoartritis supone hasta 39 millones de visitas médicas y más de 500.000 hospitalizaciones. Para el año 2020 se espera que afecte a casi 60 millones de personas en los Estados Unidos y que limite la actividad de 11,6 millones de personas.
Actualmente se usan muchos métodos terapéuticos. Ninguna de estas terapias ha hecho que se regenere de manera satisfactoria el tejido de tipo hialino que soporta la carga y actividad normales de las articulaciones durante periodos prolongados. Actualmente, las técnicas más utilizadas clínicamente para defectos y deterioros del cartílago no son procesos en los que se reemplaza el cartílago articular, sino procesos de limpieza, desbridamiento artroscópico y estimulación de la reparación. El transplante directo de células o tejido en un defecto y el reemplazo del defecto por sustitutos biológicos o sintéticos suponen actualmente sólo un pequeño porcentaje de las intervenciones quirúrgicas. El objetivo quirúrgico óptimo consiste en reemplazar el defecto por sustitutos de tipo cartílago para aliviar el dolor, reducir derrames e inflamaciones, funciones de restauración, reducir la discapacidad y posponer la necesidad de colocar prótesis.
La limpieza y el desbridamiento artroscópico implican tener que irrigar la articulación con soluciones de cloruro de sodio, Ringer o Ringer y lactato. Se cree que el alivio temporal del dolor se debe a la retirada de residuos de cartílago degenerativo, encimas proteolíticas y mediadores inflamatorios. Estas técnicas proporcionan un alivio temporal del dolor, pero tienen pocas posibilidades o ninguna posibilidad de curación.
La estimulación de la reparación se realiza mediante peforación, artroplastia de abrasión o microfractura. La penetración en el hueso subcondral induce al sangrado y a la formación de coágulos de fibrina que estimula la reparación inicial, pero sin embargo el tejido formado es de naturaleza fibrosa y no es duradero. El alivio del dolor es temporal ya que el tejido muestra características de deterioro, de pérdida de elasticidad, de resistencia y de desgaste con el tiempo.
Se ha demostrado que el periostio y el pericondrio contienen células madre mesenquimales que pueden diferenciarse y proliferar. Estas se han usado como injertos tanto en modelos animales como humanos para reparar defectos de las articulaciones. En pocos pacientes de más de 40 años se han obtenido buenos resultados clínicos, lo que probablemente refleja el descenso de la población de células madres osteocondrales con el aumento de la edad. También ha habido problemas con la adhesión y estabilidad de los injertos, lo que hace que se desplacen o se salgan del lugar de reparación.
El trasplante de células que han crecido por cultivo proporciona otro método para introducir una nueva población de células en defectos condrales y osteocondrales. Carticel® es un proceso comercial, comercializado por Genzyme Biosurgery en Estados Unidos y Europa, para cultivar células del cartílago del propio paciente a fin de usarlas en la reparación de los defectos de cartílago en el cóndilo femoral. El procedimiento usa artroscopia para hacer una biopsia de una zona sana y menos cargada del cartílago articular. La digestión enzimática del tejido recogido libera las células que son enviadas a un laboratorio donde crecen durante un periodo comprendido entre 2 y 5 semanas. Una vez cultivadas, las células se inyectan, durante un proceso de rodilla más abierto y extensivo, en zonas del cartílago defectuoso donde se espera que faciliten la reparación del tejido dañado. Un colgajo perióstico autólogo con una capa interna o cambium se usa para sellar las células trasplantadas in situ y actúa como barrera mecánica. Se usa adhesivo a base de fibrina para sellar los bordes del colgajo. Esta técnica protege la superficie ósea subcondral y presenta un índice de éxitos alto. Los defensores de este procedimiento declaran que produce resultados satisfactorios, entre los que se incluye la posibilidad de volver a desempeñar actividades físicas difíciles en más de un 90% de los pacientes y que los especimenes de la biopsia del tejido en los lugares del injerto muestran una reparación del cartílago de tipo hialino. Se necesita más trabajo para valorar la función y duración del nuevo tejido y determinar si mejora la función de la articulación y si retrasa o previene el deterioro de las articulaciones. Al igual que con el injerto periocondral, la edad del paciente/donante puede afectar negativamente al éxito de este procedimiento ya que la población de condrocitos disminuye con el aumento de la edad. Las desventajas de este procedimiento incluyen la necesidad de dos procedimientos quirúrgicos independientes, el posible daño del cartílago circundante cuando se cose el parche perióstico en su lugar, la demanda de técnicas microquirúrgicas difíciles y que los altos costes del procedimiento no los cubre el seguro.
El trasplante osteocondral o mosaicoplastia incluye extirpar todo el tejido inestable o dañado del defecto de la articulación y crear agujeros cilíndricos en la base del defecto y del hueso subyacente. Estos agujeros se rellenan con tapones cilíndricos autólogos de cartílago y hueso sanos a modo de mosaico. Los tapones osteocondrales se recogen de una zona de la misma articulación menos importante y que soporta menos peso. Esta técnica, que se muestra en el estado de la técnica de la figura 2, se puede realizar como procedimientos artroscópicos o abiertos. Informes de los resultados de osteochondral plug autografts/autoplastias de tapón osteocondrales en un número pequeño de pacientes indican que reducen el dolor y mejoran la función de la articulación, pero sin embargo no se han presentado los resultados a largo plazo. Entre los factores que pueden perjudicar los resultados se incluyen morbibidad del lugar del donante, efectos de incompatibilidad de la articulación en la superficie opuesta del lugar del donante, daño a los condrocitos en los márgenes articulares de los lugares del donante y del receptor durante la preparación e implantación y colapso o decantación del injerto con el tiempo. La limitada disponibilidad de los lugares para recoger autoinjertos osteocondrales restringe el uso de este acceso para tratar defectos de las articulaciones relativamente pequeños y la curación entre la parte condral del autoinjerto y el cartílago de la articulación adyacente sigue siendo de interés.
El trasplante de aloinjertos grandes de hueso y de cartílago articular subyacente es otra opción de tratamiento que necesita un área más grande que la conveniente para tapones cilíndricos autólogos, y también para un defecto no incluido. Las ventajas de los aloinjertos osteocondrales son su potencial para restaurar el contorno anatómico de la articulación, la falta de morbibidad asociada a la recogida de injertos, mayor disponibilidad que los autoinjertos y la capacidad de preparar aloinjertos de cualquier tamaño para reconstruir defectos grandes. La experiencia clínica con aloinjertos osteocondrales frescos y congelados demuestra que estos injertos pueden aliviar el dolor de las articulaciones, y que la parte ósea de un aloinjerto puede curar hasta el hueso huésped y la parte condral puede funcionar como una superficie articular. Entre las desventajas asociadas con esta metodología en la situación clínica se incluyen la escasez de material fresco de donantes y los problemas asociados con la manipulación y almacenaje de tejido congelado. Los aloinjertos pueden incluir el riesgo de una respuesta inmune o la transmisión de enfermedades. La Fundación de Trasplantes Musculoesqueléticos (MTF) ha conservado aloinjertos frescos en un medio que mantiene una viabilidad celular del 50% durante 35 días para usar como implantes. Los aloinjertos congelados carecen de viabilidad celular y muestran una cantidad reducida de contenido de proteoglicanos lo que contribuye a deteriorar el tejido.
Varias patentes del estado de la técnica muestran el uso de cera, pastas o geles de hueso para rellenar defectos de huesos. La patente U.S. 5.290.558 cedida el 1 de marzo de 1994, describe una composición en polvo de hueso desmineralizado que usa un polvo de hueso osteogénico con un tamaño de partículas grande comprendido entre aproximadamente 0,1 y aproximadamente 1,2 cm, mezclado con un compuesto polihidroxi de bajo peso molecular que posee entre 2 y aproximadamente 18 carbonos incluidas varias clases de compuestos diferentes tales como monosacáridos, disacáridos, oligosacáridos dispersables en agua y polisacáridos.
Un gel de hueso se describe en la patente U.S. 5.073.373 cedida el 17 de diciembre de 1991. Laminillas óseas en forma de hilos o filamentos que contienen un portador de glicerol de bajo peso molecular se muestran en las patentes U.S. 5.314.476 cedida el 24 de mayor de 1994 y la 5.507.813 cedida el 16 de abril de 1996, y las formas de tejido descritas en estas patentes se conocen comercialmente como Putty y Flex GRAFTON®, respectivamente.
La patente U.S. 5.356.629 cedida el 18 de octubre de 1994, describe hacer un gel rígido de naturaleza de cemento de hueso para rellenar defectos de huesos mezclando partículas biocompatibles, de preferencia polimetilmetacrilato revestido con polihidroximetilmetacrilato en una matriz seleccionada de un grupo que incluye ácido hialurónico para obtener una masa semisólida moldeada que puede trabajarse de forma adecuada para implantarla en un hueso. El ácido hialurónico también puede utilizarse en forma monomérica o polimérica, de preferencia con un peso molecular no superior a aproximadamente un millón de daltones. Se puede apreciar que el material no bioabsorbible que puede usarse para formar las partículas biocompatibles puede derivar de hueso xenoinjerto, hueso homólogo, hueso autógeno y de otros materiales. La sustancia bioactiva también puede ser un agente osteogénico tal como polvo de hueso desmineralizado, hueso esponjoso morselizado, médula ósea aspirada y otras fuentes óseas autógenas. El tamaño medio de las partículas empleadas está comprendido entre aproximadamente 0,1 y 3,0 mm, de preferencia entre aproximadamente 0,2 y 5,5 mm y más preferiblemente entre aproximadamente 0,3 y 1,0 mm. Se menciona por inducción aunque no se ha demostrado que se pueden usar partículas con tamaños medios de entre aproximadamente 7.000 y 8.000 micrómetros, o incluso con un menor tamaño de entre 100 y 700 micrómetros.
La patente U.S. 4.172.128 cedida el 23 de octubre de 1979 describe un material óseo desmineralizado mezclado con un portador para reconstruir material dental u óseo añadiendo un mucopolisacárido a un material coloidal óseo desmineralizado. La composición se forma a partir de un material óseo molido en basto, que puede derivar de huesos y dientes humanos, disuelto en un disolvente que forma una solución coloidal a la que se añade un compuesto polihidroxi fisiológicamente inerte tal como un mucosacárido o un ácido poliurónico en una cantidad que produce orientación cuando se añaden iones de hidrógeno o iones metálicos polivalentes para formar un gel. El gel es fluido a temperaturas elevadas por encima de 35ºC y se solidifica cuando las temperaturas descienden a la temperatura corporal. El ejemplo 25 de la patente indica que los mucopolisacáridos producen efectos inotrópicos pronunciados y que el ácido hialurónico es en concreto responsable de entrecruzamiento espacial.
La patente U.S. 6.030.635 cedida el 29 de febrero de 2000 y la patente U.S. 6.437.018 cedida el 20 de agosto de 2002, se refieren a una cera de hueso maleable y a una composición de gel fluido para aplicarlas en el lugar donde se encuentra un defecto de hueso a fin de estimular un nuevo crecimiento óseo en el lugar que utiliza un compuesto que produce un nuevo crecimiento óseo de polvo de hueso aloinjerto liofilizado desmineralizado. El polvo de hueso tiene un tamaño de partículas comprendido entre aproximadamente 100 y aproximadamente 850 micrómetros y se mezcla en un portador hidrogel de alto peso molecular que contiene un tampón salino de fosfato de sodio.
El uso de implantes para defectos de cartílago es mucho más limitado. Además de los implantes aloinjertos frescos y de los implantes autólogos, la patente U.S. 6.110.209 cedida el 5 de noviembre de 1998 muestra el uso de una pasta de hueso esponjoso de cartílago articular autólogo para rellenar defectos artríticos. La técnica quirúrgica es artroscópica e incluye desbridar (recortar cartílago articular fragmentado o suelto), y después morselizar la base del defecto artrítico con una lenza hasta que comience el sangrado. Después se recoge un injerto osteocondral del borde interno del corte intercondilar usando un trépano. El injerto se morseliza después en un triturador de injertos de hueso, mezclando el cartílago articular con el hueso esponjoso. La pasta se introduce después en el defecto y se asegura con las propiedades adhesivas del hueso sangrante. La pasta también se puede mezclar con un factor estimulador de cartílago, una pluralidad de células o una cola biológica. Todos los pacientes se mantienen a dieta durante cuatro semanas y se usa una máquina de movimiento pasivo continuo durante seis horas cada noche. El aspecto histológico de las biopsias muestran principalmente una mezcla de fibrocartílago con cartílago hialino. Las preocupaciones asociadas a este método son morbibidad y disponibilidad del lugar de recogida, similares a las del método de mosaicoplastia.
Breve descripción de la invención
Un material de implante de cartílago en forma de pasta o gel para reparar defectos de cartílago articular está formado por trozos de cartílago de aloinjerto molidos en un portador bioabsorbible. También se puede aplicar a la matriz una cantidad de condrocitos autólogos que sobrepase el número que se produce naturalmente en un cartílago hialino para un adulto maduro de entre 20 y 55 años de edad. Se pueden aplicar aditivos a la mezcla para aumentar la migración y proliferación de condrocitos. El material de implante puede tolerar la adición de varios factores estimulantes condrogénicos que incluyen, aunque no se limitan a, factores de crecimiento (FGF-2, FGF-5, IGF-1, TGF-\beta, BMP-2, BMP-7, PDGF, VEGF), condrocitos alogénicos o autólogos humanos, células alogénicas humanas, células de la médula ósea alogénicas humanas, células de la médula ósea autólogas humanas, células primitivas alogénicas humanas, células primitivas autólogas humanas, una matriz ósea desmineralizada, insulina, factor de crecimiento-1 de tipo insulina, antagonista del receptor de la interleucina-1, factor de crecimiento del hepatocito, factor de crecimiento derivado de las plaquetas, hedgehog Indio y péptido relacionado con la hormona paratifoidea.
El material de implante se coloca en la zona lesionada y puede sellarse con un casquete perióstico.
Un propósito de la invención es proporcionar un material de implante de aloinjerto para articulaciones que proporcione una alivio del dolor, que recupere la función normal y que posponga o elimine la necesidad de colocar prótesis.
Es también un propósito de la invención proporcionar un material de implante para reparar cartílagos que pueda colocar fácilmente el cirujano en la zona defectuosa usando una técnica artroscópica mínimamente invasiva.

Descripción detallada de la invención
Aquí, el término "tejido" se refiere en general a cualquier tejido que se pueda trasplantar o implantar, cuya capacidad de conservación se mejora al implantarlo con los métodos que se describen. En concreto, la duración y longevidad total del implante se mejoran, y se eliminan sustancialmente las respuestas del sistema huésped-inmunológico.
Los términos "trasplante" e "implante" se usan de manera intercambiable para referirnos al tejido, material o células (xenogénicas o alogénicas) que pueden introducirse en el cuerpo de un paciente para reemplazar o complementar la estructura o función del tejido endógeno.
Los términos "autólogo" y "autoplastia" se refieren a tejido o células que se originan en o derivan del receptor, mientras que los términos "alogénico" y "aloinjerto" se refieren a células y tejido que se originan en o derivan de un donante de la misma especie que el receptor. Los términos "xenogénico" y "xenoinjerto" se refieren a células o tejido que se origina en o derivan de una especie diferente a la del receptor.
El término "gel" se refiere a una mezcla de cartílago aloinjerto picado o molido pretratado en un portador con una viscosidad inferior y menos rígida que una mezcla de cartílago aloinjerto picado o molido pretratado en un portador biocompatible denominado "cera" o "pasta" y contiene menos cartílago en peso que la cera o la pasta.
La presente invención se refiere a un material para reconstruir cartílago y a un método de tratamiento. La realización preferida y el mejor modo de llevar a cabo la invención se muestran en la figura 3. En la invención, se liofiliza cartílago hialino aloinjerto reduciendo su contenido de agua y se muele para facilitar su aplicación.
Después de limpiar varias veces el material para reconstruir cartílago con agua desionizada (DI), se congela a temperaturas de entre -20º y -100ºC, de preferencia a -70ºC y se liofiliza para reducir el contenido de agua a una proporción de entre aproximadamente 0,1% y aproximadamente 8,0%. El cartílago se congela con nitrógeno líquido y se muele en partículas.
Una lesión o defecto se elimina abriendo un agujero 50 en la zona de implante 100 ó extirpando una lesión de la misma zona de implante 100 y rellenando el agujero 50 o zona lesionada con una mezcla de cartílago molido 20 de pasta o gel que consta de un portador biológico tal como ácido hialurónico y sus derivados, gelatina, colágeno, quitosana, alginato, un tampón de PBS, dextrano o polímeros y uno o más aditivos, a saber factores estimulantes condrogénicos que incluyen, aunque no se limitan a, factores de crecimiento (FGF-2, FGF-5, IGF-1, TGF-\beta, BMP-2, BMP-7, PDGF, VEGF), condrocitos alogénicos o autólogos humanos, células alogénicas humanas, células de la médula ósea alogénicas humanas, células de la médula ósea autólogas humanas, células primitivas alogénicas humanas, células primitivas autólogas humanas, una matriz ósea desmineralizada, insulina, factor de crecimiento-1 de tipo insulina, antagonista del receptor de la interleucina-1, factor de crecimiento del hepatocito, factor de crecimiento derivado de las plaquetas, hedgehog Indio y péptido relacionado con la hormona paratifoidea.
Se puede utilizar un material de cola orgánica adecuado para mantener la mezcla de cartílago viscosa 20 in situ en la zona de implante o para fijar un casquete perióstico 30 in situ sobre la zona de cartílago hialino circundante 100. Se puede encontrar comercialmente material de cola orgánica adecuado tal como por ejemplo TISSEEL® o TISSUCOL® (adhesivo a base de fibrina; Immuno AG, Austria). Proteína adhesiva (Sigma Chemical, USA), y Dow Corning Medical Adhesive B (Dow Corning, USA).
Ejemplo 1
Una matriz de cera de cartílago picado que consta de cartílago articular aloinjerto molido que se ha liofilizado, de modo que su contenido en agua oscila entre 0,1% y 8,0%, con un contenido de cartílago comprendido entre 25% y 50% en peso, se mezcla con un portador de una solución de hialuronato de sodio (HA) ( peso molecular entre 7,0 x 10^{5} y 1,2 x 10^{6}) o con cualquier otro portador bioabsorbible tal como un ácido hialurónico y sus derivados, gelatina, colágeno, quitosana, alginato, un tampón de PBS, dextrano o polímeros estando el portador comprendido entre 75% y 50% en peso. El cartílago se muele hasta un tamaño comprendido entre 0,01 y 1 mm. En forma de gel, el cartílago picado que se ha liofilizado para que su contenido de agua esté comprendido entre 0,1% y 8,0%, oscila entre 15% y 30% en peso y el portador está comprendido entre 85% y 70% en peso. El tamaño de partícula del cartílago cuando está molido es menor o igual a 1 mm en seco en la escala mencionada. Los trozos de cartílago se pueden procesar para variar el tamaño de partícula y el HA u otro portador pueden tener diferentes viscosidades dependiendo de la consistencia deseada de la cera o la pasta. La matriz de cartílago puede depositarse artroscópicamente en el defecto del cartílago y fijarse en el defecto donde se mantiene in situ gracias a su propia viscosidad, mezclada con adhesivo a base de fibrina o recubierta con un colgajo perióstico o pericondral, y después sellarse con adhesivo biológico. Igual que con las dos primeras matrices, esta matriz puede incluir los factores condrogénicos mencionados.

Una matriz de cera de cartílago picado que consta de cartílago aloinjerto molido que se ha liofilizado con lo cual su contenido en agua está comprendido entre 0,1% y 8,0% oscilando entre 25% y 50% en peso se mezcla con un portador de una solución de hialuronato de sodio (HA) (peso molecular entre 7,0 x 10^{5} y 1,2 x 10^{6}) o con cualquier otro portador bioabsorbible tal como un ácido hialurónico y sus derivados, gelatina, colágeno, quitosana, alginato, un tampón de PBS, dextrano o polímeros estando el portador comprendido entre 75% y 50% en peso. El cartílago se muele hasta un tamaño comprendido entre 0,01 y 1 mm. En forma de gel, el cartílago picado que se ha liofilizado para que su contenido de agua que está comprendido entre 0,01% y 8,0% oscila entre 15% y 30% en peso y el portador está comprendido entre 85% y 70% en peso. El tamaño de partícula del cartílago es menor o igual a 1 mm en seco oscilando entre 0,01 y 1 mm. Los trozos de cartílago se pueden procesar para variar el tamaño de partícula y el HA u otro portador pueden tener diferentes viscosidades dependiendo de la consistencia deseada de la cera o la pasta. Las células autólogas o alogénicas que han crecido fuera del paciente se insertan con una jeringa en la matriz antes, durante o después de depositar la matriz del cartílago en la zona defectuosa. Tales células incluyen células de la médula ósea alogénicas, células de la médula ósea autólogas, células primitivas y células cartilaginosas. La densidad celular de las células está comprendida preferiblemente entre aproximadamente 1 x 10^{8} y 5 x 10^{8} ó entre aproximadamente 100 millones y aproximadamente 500 millones de células por cc de mezcla de cera o gel. Este material compuesto puede inyectarse artroscópicamente en el defecto del cartílago y fijarse en el defecto donde se mantiene in situ gracias a su propia viscosidad, o recubrirse con un colgajo perióstico o pericondral, y después sellarlo con adhesivo biológico. Como con la primera matriz, esta matriz puede incluir los factores condrogénicos mencionados.
La operación que consiste en colocar la composición de cartílago en un defecto de cartílago, comprende: (a) cortar el tejido de un paciente por el lugar donde se encuentra el defecto del cartílago a fin de eliminar la zona dañada del cartílago; (b) colocar una mezcla de cartílago aloinjerto molido en un portador bioabsorbible en la zona defectuosa; y (c) colocar una cubierta perióstica sobre la mezcla del cartílago aloinjerto molido en un portador bioabsorbible para acomodar la mezcla en la zona defectuosa durante un periodo de tiempo determinado a fin de estimular el crecimiento de cartílago por el sitio defectuoso. Otros pasos incluyen la adición de factores de crecimiento, condrocitos, células de la médula ósea y células primitivas.
