A method that includes the general steps of injecting a fluid matrix of materials which chondrocytes can use to re-grow cartridge and which encourage chondrocytes to re-grow cartilage, mechanically causing the fluid matrix to travel toward chondrocytes, such as by use of a pressure cuff, an ultrasonic transducer, or other means, and exposing the chondrocytes to photonic stimulation in the range of 165 nm to 280 nm. |
