The Ex Vivo Time of Fresh Autologous Cartilage Before Transplantation and Cartilage Absorption Degree

Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between the time of autogenous cartilage in vitro and the degree of absorption in animal experiments. Methods: New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups according to the time of cartilage in vitro: 1-hour group, 2-hour group, and 3-hour group. A volume of ear cartilage was taken and transplanted into the back, according to the group. After 1 month, the volume was taken out and remeasured. Then, these were compared by scanning electron microscopy and hematoxylin and eosin staining. Results: The cartilage bulk absorption level of different groups is different (P
