- Abstract
The article discusses a study evaluating the outcome of matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI) for the treatment of chondral defects. Clinical assessment was performed with the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), the Tegner-Lysholm score, the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Form. Findings showed that treatment with a MACI implant revealed significant clinical improvement and good quality repair tissue 5 years after surgery.
