Long-term Outcome Evaluation of Patients Undergoing Autologous Chondrocyte Transplantation Delivered on Biomaterial

Sponsor: Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli

Summary

Chondro-Long study is prospective observational study for a long-term clinical evaluation (follow-up up to 25 years) in patients treated with autologous chondrocyte transplantation delivered on biomaterial for full-thickness chondral defects (Outerbridge grade III - IV) at the level of femoral condyles, trochlea, patella and tibial plateau. The aim of the study is to collect long-term clinical data from the case series of patients surgically treated from 1999 to 2006 with autologous chondrocyte transplantation delivered on biomaterial for full-thickness chondral defects (Outerbridge grade III - IV) or osteochondral defects at the level of femoral condyles, trochlea, patella, and tibial plateau. The objective of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of this long-term cartilage regeneration technique (follow-up up to 25 years) in improving patient symptomatology and functional capacity
