This study evaluates the functional outcome in a group of twenty three patients undergoing a combined ACI-HTO procedure identified retrospectively from a larger cohort undergoing ACI procedure. The mean follow-up was 54 months (range 12 - 108) and the mean defect size was 689 mm2 (range 350 - 1200). Nine patients had ACI-C and HTO, the remainder having MACI and HTO. The Mean VAS score improved from 7.4 pre-operatively to 2.9 post-operatively (p

The aim of this study is to develop a novel SG-PCL scaffold for hyaline cartilage repair. METHODS: A novel SG-PCL scaffold was constructed using rapid prototyping. PCL fibers (MW 50 kDa) with a diameter of 120 µm were plotted producing a 3D web. The scaffold was subsequently submerged into a mixture of dioxane, PCL and water, and lyophilized at -32°C, creating an extremely porous graded struc ture. By shifting the water/dioxane ratio 16 scaffolds with different pore sizes were made. Using scanning electron microscopy, two scaffolds were selected. The two scaffolds were then constructed with either 25kDa or 50kDa graded structure giving a total of four different scaffold. They were cultured with human chondrocytes and the viability was analyzed using confocal microscopy after 1, 3 and 6 days. The scaffolds were rated based on cell migration, cell shape and distribution of viable cells. RESULTS: The scaffolds contained macro-, micro-, and nano-pores. A large difference in investigated parameters was observed and a water-dioxane ratio of 0.0415 provided the most viable environment for chondrocytes according to the above-mentioned criteria. CONCLUSION: We successfully constructed a SG-PCL scaffold that can be used in future in vivo experiments, and has the potential of subsequent functionalization with nano particles and growth- and differentiation factors 199

develop a novel SG-PCL scaffold for hyaline cartilage repair. METHODS: A novel<br />
SG-PCL scaffold was constructed using rapid prototyping. PCL fibers (MW 50 kDa)<br />
with a diameter of 120 µm were plotted producing a 3D web. The scaffold was<br />
subsequently submerged into a mixture of dioxane, PCL and water, and lyophilized<br />

constructed with either 25kDa or 50kDa graded structure giving a total of four<br />
different scaffold. They were cultured with human chondrocytes and the viability was<br />
analyzed using confocal microscopy after 1, 3 and 6 days. The scaffolds were rated<br />
based on cell migration, cell shape and distribution of viable cells. RESULTS: The<br />
scaffolds contained macro-, micro-, and nano-pores. A large difference in<br />
investigated parameters was observed and a water-dioxane ratio of 0.0415 provided<br />
the most viable environment for chondrocytes according to the above-mentioned<br />
criteria. CONCLUSION: We successfully constructed a SG-PCL scaffold that can be<br />
used in future in vivo experiments, and has the potential of subsequent<br />
functionalization with nano particles and growth- and differentiation factors<br />
