Abstract
In 1743 William Hunter [1] stated, 'an ulcerated cartilage is a troublesome problem and once destroyed, it never repairs'. This statement holds true even today, in spite of new advances in the field of tissue engineering. Cartilage injuries are common in the knee joint and if untreated can become symptomatic and progressively lead to premature arthritis [2] (Ref Wong et al.). Galen observed and wrote about premature arthritis in athletes.
