New patch tested to heal Worn-Out knee cartilage

NCT ID NCT04537013

Summary

This study tested whether adding a collagen patch (Chondro-Gide®) to a standard microfracture surgery works as well for large knee cartilage injuries as microfracture alone does for small injuries. It involved 82 adults aged 18-55 with a single symptomatic knee injury. The main goal was to see if patients had less pain, better knee function, and avoided serious complications two years after surgery.
