title: The use of adhesives in chondrocyte transplantation surgery: in-vivo studies.
abstract: Two commercial adhesive preparations--fibrin glue and mussel adhesive protein (MAP)--were tested in-vivo for their ability to fix a chondrocyte allograft internally. While results for the fibrin, including additional testing for chondro inductive/conductive properties, were at best inconclusive, the results for MAP are highly promising.
