Interventions

PROCEDURE

MACT

* A biopsy of healthy cartilage is taken from a non-weight bearing area of the knee joint during an arthroscopic procedure. * The biopsy is processed in the GMP accredited laboratory to isolate and amplify chondrocytes. * The cells are seeded and cultured on a collagen matrix (Chondro-Gide®, Geistlich Pharma) * The membrane is implanted and sutured onto the injured site.

PROCEDURE

AMT

This treatment combines the microfracture procedure with the application of a bilayer matrix of porcine type I/III collagen (Chondro-Gide, Geistlich Pharma) and the supplementation of autologous bone.
