Notes:
In this work, a new kind of bioactive PVA/HA hydrogels use as artificial cartilage wereprepared by in situ sol-gel synthesis method. Simulated experiments were performed to evaluate andcompare the bioactive ability and properties of the hydrogels in simulated body solution. PVA/HACartilage implants were developed and used to repair articular cartilage defect in rabbit knee. Themacroscopic and histological observation of animal experiments displayed that the implantedhydrogels combined tightly to ambient tissues, and some bone-like tissue grew into the bottom of theimplants from the base-bone to form more deep-set binding
