Placental Membrane Preparations and Methods of Making and Using Same for Regenerating Cartilage and Spinal Intervertebral Discs

摘要

A method for treating cartilage defects including providing a placental membrane preparation that includes ground or minced placental membranes and optionally, a ground or minced cartilage and/or biocompatible glue, and introducing the preparation to a cartilage defect within a skeletal joint. The cartilage defect may include a hyaline cartilage defect, such as a chondral defect, or meniscal defect. The treatment may be provided in combination with other treatments such as marrow stimulation treatments and surgical repair treatments using sutures or other fixation techniques. The preparation promotes the regeneration of cartilage within the skeletal joint.
