## Abstract Fullโthickness defects in articular cartilage can be functionally restored by autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI). In past years, numerous types of scaffolds for tissueโengineered cartilage implants have been developed and thoroughly characterized. However, the fixation stability

โฆ Synopsis
Sir,
I read with great interest the article on mechanical testing of various fixation methods for scaffold-based cartilage repair. I must commend the authors for their innovative approach to this question. I do have a number of comments regarding this study:

## Abstract **Summary:** Scaffold based tissue engineering strategies use cells, biomolecules and a scaffold to promote the repair and regeneration of tissues. Although scaffoldโbased tissue engineering approaches are being actively developed, most are still experimental, and it is not yet clear wh

## Abstract The objective of this study was to develop a biomimetic, highly porous collagenโhydroxyapatite (HA) composite scaffold for bone tissue engineering (TE), combining the biological performance and the high porosity of a collagen scaffold with the high mechanical stiffness of a HA scaffold.
