PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce patient load when producing cultured cartilages effective in therapies.SOLUTION: A cultured cartilage production method of the present invention is a production method of a cultured cartilage that is to be implanted into a cartilage deficient site, comprising (a) removing unnecessary tissue, such as bones and the like, from a loose body of the joint, (b) collecting chondrocytes from the loose body of the joint, and (c) producing a cultured cartilage by culturing the chondrocytes collected from the loose body of the joint. According to this production method, patient load is reduced compared with when collecting normal cells from a patient by incision or the like as a cell source aside from a loose body of the joint, because the loose body of the joint that is originally to have been removed is used as a cell source when producing the cultured cartilage effective in therapies.SELECTED DRAWING: None |
