Osteoarthrosis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease of slow progression that affects the hip, knee, distal phalangeal and intervertebral joints. It is characterized by joint pain, accentuated sensitivity, rigidity and alteration in mobility [1]. The disorder first manifests at the molecular and cellular level (abnormal metabolism of the tissues of the joint) followed by anatomical or physiological alterations (degradation and loss of cartilage, bone remodeling, osteophyte formation, synovial inflammation, sclerosis and loss of subchondral bone). The commitment of the hip and knees are a common cause of disability. OA is a severe clinical and public health problem, close to 50% of the people suffered OA at different levels, but the current clinical treatments available are incapable to reverse disease progression [2].The most used current treatment is oral medications with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) or corticoids, but these treatments cause different adverse effects, such as gastrointestinal reactions or renal dysfunction [2]. In the case of severe OA (debilitating pain, major functional limitation) is necessary the use of surgery. Currently, the regeneration of cartilage tissue is under research without found clinical satisfactory solutions [3]. The technique of microfracture is the clinical procedure most widely used to treat cartilage injury [4]. This technique consists in perforate the subchondral bone, allowing the bleeding and the formation of a clot rich in growth factor and mesenchymal cells [4, 5]. The cartilage regenerated by this technique is a fibrocartilage, which presents worst physical properties than the original one and has problems of integration with the surrounding tissue.
