Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2009038808A1] Apparatuses and methods are provided for inducing formation of fibrocartilage. For example, an apparatus is provided which comprises a graft collar having a hollow central portion along a longitudinal axis, wherein an outer surface of the graft collar is wrapped with a polymer-fiber mesh, or wherein an outer surface of the graft collar is clamped by a clamp, to apply compression or static loading to the graft collar. A method for making said apparatus and for inducing formation of fibrocartilage is also provided.
