Histologic study of articular cartilage repair in the marmoset condyle.
This study tests the regenerative capability of condylar cartilage by examining repair of full-thickness articular surface defects in a primate model. The wounds were reconstituted within 6 months with tissue identical to the remaining condylar structure, and the reformed articular surface was maintained intact up to 1 year postinjury.
