Treatment of damages of hyalin cartilage of large joints (review of literature)
Treatment of damage to the hyaline cartilage of large joints is one of the difficult tasks despite the many proposed methods. Today, there is a wide range of therapeutic measures for this pathology, ranging from conservative and ending with a large arsenal of surgical interventions, including the use of growth factors and genetic engineering. The outcome of all these interventions is usually the formation of fibrous tissue, the biomechanical characteristics of which do not correspond to hyaline cartilage and cannot fully resist the forces of compression. The fibrous tissue eventually lysed and the patient is had the old symptoms, and eventually progresses to osteoarthritis. The aim of our work is to summarize the existing methods of treatment of hyaline cartilage damage of large joints and to evaluate the results of treatment with modern methods.
