Degenerative cartilage diseases cause constant cartilage degradation, leading to patient suffering and limited mobility. Existing therapies like MACI have limitations in restoring natural cartilage mechanics, necessitating the development of improved methods and materials for cartilage replacement. This work focuses on the mechanical characterization of human articular cartilage and two hydrogels (ADA-GEL and ChondroFillerliquid) as potential cartilage substitutes.
