The aim of this work is to view different processes used for repair cartilage defect, and their
suitability for laser based manufacturing. Many of human tissues can be equated to composite structure.
Combination of a regular interconnected pore structure, materials¿ mechanical properties and hydrogel¿s
lubrication characteristic can bring implant¿s structure closer to the form that can be founded in natural
cartilage. Laser can be used for a wide variety of materials to manufacture complicated three dimensional
structures. For this reason it was chosen for closer analysis. Research papers in official databases, medical
science books and patents were used as research material.
