Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved method for treating and repairing defects and injuries in cartilage and other soft tissue. SOLUTION: This tissue fusion method provides a method of using locally administered collagenase as a non-invasive means of enhancing cell release from the cartilage or fibrocartilage tissues adjacent to a disease or injury site. The subsequent migration of cells from these tissues into the lesion or wound, followed by deposition of the appropriate extracellular matrix, results in closure of the lesion or fusion of a tissue gap.
