Recent advances in implantable sensor technology and cartilage scaffolding systems have driven innovation in the field. This technology more accurately measures the stress loads on joints, which gives researchers a better understanding of the healing process.
Additional innovation has come from CT scans that generate three-dimensional images of the patient’s anatomy, which have fostered patient-specific implantable scaffold systems to support joint cartilage during tissue growth.
