Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Among various seed cells, synovial mesenchymal stem cells have unique advantages in the repair of articular cartilage injury.

OBJECTIVE: To review the progress of synovial mesenchymal stem cells and its intra-articular injection in the treatment of articular cartilage injury.

METHODS: The first author searched PubMed and CNKI by computer to retrieve articles published from January 2004 to December 2004 using the keywords of “synovial mesenchymal stem cells; intra-articular injection; cartilage repair” in English and Chinese, respectively. Finally, 57 articles were included in result analysis.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: It is easy to isolate and culture synovial mesenchymal stem cells, which has great advantages in cartilage repair. What’s more, intra-articular injection therapy for articular cartilage injury is feasible and safe. Intra-articular injection of synovial mesenchymal stem cells is a very promising treatment for cartilage damage, but there are still many problems to be solved in the future.
