The outcome of autologous chondrocyte transplantation treatment of cartilage lesions in the knee

Matej Drobnic et al. Cell Mol Biol Lett. 2002.

Abstract

Recent results of the clinical outcome of autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT) treatment in a group of 28 patients with focal femoral condyle cartilage lesions revealed a correlation trend with the quality of the in vitro cell culture matrix-protein synthesis. No impact of the patients' age and chondrocyte cryopreservation prior to implantation was observed. Further studies are needed to confirm the preliminary results.
