Abstract
The authors present a description of a newly developed method - chondrocyte application in the Tissucol-Kit ImmunoĆĘ fibrin glue as a chondrograft application. This method is a modification of autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT).
The chondrocytes obtained from an articular cartilage are cultured. After their multiplication the cells are cast in fibrin glue.
Then the chondrograft is applied in the defect?s area. The cell?s viability in the chondrograft is intact.
