Effects of fibroblast growth factors 2 and low intensity pulsed ultrasound on the repair of knee articular cartilage in rabbits.

FGF2 and LIPU combination can promote the synthesis and secretion of collagen in chondrocytes, promote the differentiation and maturation of chondrocytes during the repair of cartilage defects.
