Small-Diameter Subchondral Drilling Improves DNA and Proteoglycan Content of the Cartilaginous Repair Tissue in a Large Animal Model of a Full-Thickness Chondral Defect

This study quantified changes in the DNA content and extracellular matrix composition of both the cartilaginous repair tissue and the adjacent cartilage in a large animal model of a chondral defect treated by subchondral drilling. Content of DNA, proteoglycans, and Type II and Type I collagen, as we...
