N2 - Osteoarthritis, the severe degeneration of articular surfaces, affects approximately 27 million people in the United States, causing pain and discomfort. Current treatments are inadequate and often result in long-term reinjury. This chapter discusses how tissue engineering aims to address these inadequacies in three categories: the induction of cartilage's biological properties, the choice of materials, and other considerations, including lateral integration and surface friction.
