Con los métodos disponibles en el momento para la reconstrucción de tejidos, la reparación de defectos del tejido cartilaginoso no ha sido alcanzada completamente. Por esta razón, se ha recurrido a la ingeniería de tejidos, que busca el desarrollo de estrategias para obtener sustitutos funcionales de tejido cartilaginoso, con el fin de ofrecer soluciones terapéuticas a pacientes con pérdida o falla de este tipo de tejido. En el presente estudio se hace una breve revisión de la anatomía, histología, fisiología y patología del tejido cartilaginoso y de las terapias usuales para su reparación, además de dar a conocer el papel cumplido por la ingeniería de tejidos y los biomateriales en el desarrollo de soluciones terapéuticas en este campo.
Abstract: The currently available methods for tissue repair have not been able to restore completely functional cartilage tissue. For this reason, tissue engineering has developed strategies for fabricating cartilage substitutes in order to offer therapeutic solutions to patients that could suffer from any kind of cartilage disease. The purpose of this article was to review the anatomy, histology, physiology, pathology of cartilage, and the therapies commonly used for repairing this tissue. This article also shows the role established by tissue engineering and biomaterials in this field.
