Paper #1 Full‐thickness articular cartilage defects of the trochlea: long‐term patient outcomes at 4–6 years
Year: 2003
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: Since the introduction of ACI in the US (1995), numerous researchers have presented encouraging results on ACI for the treatment of full-thickness chondral injuries. However, data specific to outcomes for trochlea lesions are limited. This multicenter experience with autologous cultured chondrocyte implantation (ACI) for the repair of trochlear lesions now extends to more then 4-years follow-up. This paper reports long-term patient outcomes for the first 42 consecutive patients who were treated with ACI for lesions of the trochlea.
