  • Patent number: 10058352
    Abstract: The methods and devices disclosed herein are effective in the promoting the reattachment of delaminated cartilage to bone. The methods (and related devices) are effective in the removal of the acellular layer of the delaminated cartilage or effective in the indentation of the acellular layer of the delaminated cartilage thereby exposing the underlying chondrocyte cells and thereby allowing the promotion of the reattachment of the delaminated cartilage.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 8, 2013
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2018
    Assignee: Smith & Nephew, Inc.
    Inventors: Kelsey Jean Carvell, Ruth Cheng, Graham Smith, Drew Burdon, Paul Alexander Torrie

  • Publication number: 20080138414
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of regenerating cartilage. In an embodiment, a method includes initiating a release of precursor cells, including bone marrow cells and progenitor cells, into a cartilage defect; and applying a population of exogenous cells to the cartilage defect. The exogenous cells, selected from a group including chondrocytes, synoviocytes, fat pad cells, chondroprogenitor cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and any combination thereof, induce the precursor cells to form cartilage tissue through a release of factors by the exogenous cells. The factors stimulate the precursor cells to form cartilage cells. The cartilage cells then form cartilage tissue. The factors are selected from a group including transforming growth factors, fibroblast growth factors, platelet-derived growth factors, insulin-like growth factors, epidermal growth factors, interleukins, and any combination thereof. Other methods of regenerating cartilage are also disclosed.
