Abstract:
Fresh osteochondral allograft transplantation (FOCA) can effectively repair large-area articular cartilage defects and has been applied internationally, with approximately ten thousand cases performed annually. However, in China, it is still at an early developmental stage. This article analyzes the challenges and future prospects of FOCA from multiple perspectives, including legal and regulatory support, relevant policy backing, sources of cartilage tissue, construction of tissue banks, establishment of information supervision systems, academic environment, as well as scientific research and clinical application.
