متن کاملThird-generation autologous chondrocyte implantation versus mosaicplasty for knee cartilage injury: 2-year randomized trial.
Numerous surgical techniques have been developed to treat osteochondral defects of the knee. A study reported encouraging outcomes of third-generation autologous chondrocyte implantation achieved using the solid agarose-alginate scaffold Cartipatch®. Whether this scaffold is better than conventional techniques remains unclear. This multicenter randomized controlled trial compared 2-year functio...
