First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study compared two surgical methods to repair damaged knee cartilage: a newer cell-based technique (autologous chondrocyte implantation) and a standard bone-graft method (mosaicoplasty). 58 adults aged 18-50 with isolated knee lesions took part. The goal was to see which approach provides better knee function and healing after 2 years.
