| Research Abstract |
The objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of the grafted cartilage, surrounding normal-like cartilage, the gap and the donor in second-look after mosaicplasty using our ultrasonic device and delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI. At second-look, the grafted plugs had similar mechanical properties as normal after 1 year. Using delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI, the quality of grafted plug cartilage restored 6 months after mosaicplasty in terms of GAG content.
