“…Therefore, our study is different from these studies as it shows individual activity of PDGF in a collagen sponge scaffold. [17] In a clinical study, the PDGF concentration was significantly higher in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed knee group than in the meniscectomy group and correlated with a higher healing rate of the meniscus. Therefore, it has been suggested that PDGF may have a critical role in the healing response of meniscus suture.…”
