New ankle cartilage implant enters final testing phase

NCT ID NCT06915233

Summary

This study is testing if a new treatment called MACI works better than standard surgery for repairing damaged cartilage in the ankle. MACI uses a patient's own cartilage cells, grown in a lab and placed on a membrane, to patch the damaged area. About 309 people, aged 17 to 65 with painful ankle cartilage defects, will be randomly assigned to receive either the MACI implant or the standard bone marrow stimulation surgery and followed for two years.
