Acellular tissue‐engineered cartilage substitutes are promising replacement materials to mend small focal defects. The underlying therapeutic idea is to initially stabilise the defect zone and in a long‐term manner allowing for remodelling processes towards a hyaline cartilage tissue. Crucial for remodelling processes inside the implant, is the cell migration from the adjacent tissue, which will be assessed in this study.
