Autologous cartilage transplantation is usually limited to articular cartilage defects of less than 2 cm2, where a column of bone or autologous cartilage intercepted from a non-weight-bearing part of the distal femur is transplanted into a pre-treated tunnel of cartilage defect on the articular surface of the femur. The use of gene therapy for osteoarthritis has also become a focus of research. In addition, given that the key to osteoarthritis lies in the regeneration of cartilage, since the 1980s, alternative medicine that utilizes the powdered cartilage of Sawgrass to promote the regeneration of human joints has become prevalent in Europe, the United States, Japan, and other advanced countries.

Now in Europe, sawtooth shark cartilage powder extract has been recognized as a joint medicine, the United States OAM (Alternative Medical Affairs) also sawtooth shark cartilage powder as a part of the alternative medicine for research and popularization, while Japan is directly applied to clinical, and obtained joint cartilage regeneration verification, for human conquest of osteoarthritis has brought a bright dawn.
