Core Tip	In this paper review we describe benefits and disadvantages of the established methods of cartilage regeneration that seem to have a better long-term effectiveness. We illustrated the anatomical aspect of the knee joint cartilage, the current state of cartilage tissue engineering through mesenchymal stem cells and biomaterials and in conclusion we provided a short overview on the rehabilitation after articular cartilage repair procedures.
