Summary
This study looks at patients who had a cartilage cell transplant (using their own cells on a special material) for knee injuries between 1999 and 2006. Researchers will check their knee function, pain, and quality of life up to 25 years after surgery. The goal is to see how well this treatment holds up over the very long term.
