The Morphology and Bending Behavior of Regenerated Costal Cartilage with Kawanabe-Nagata Method in Rabbits - the Short Term Result of an Experimental Study.

Conclusions: The stiffness of regenerated cartilage was significantly lower than the native cartilage. Reimplantation of autologous cartilage blocks was not superior to that without reimplantation in regard to restoring the volume defect and strengthening the regenerated cartilage.
