- Abstract
The authors of the article titled "Fixation Stability of Scaffold-Based Tissue Engineered Grafts: Mechanical Testing of Fixation Techniques for Scaffold-Based Tissue Engineered Grafts" respond to Dr. Sven Kili's comments on their study. They clarify that their study aimed to measure the primary fixation strength of commonly used biomaterials for autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), rather than perform product testing on various scaffold materials. They acknowledge the limitations of their testing approach and the possibility of weakening during fixation. They conclude by presenting a procedure to test the postoperative stability of biomaterials for ACI.
