Abstract

Purpose Autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis ( AMIC®) and microfracture are established treatments for focal chondral defects in the knee, but there are little clinical data concerning these procedures over the long term. This study evaluates the outcomes of AMIC ® compared to microfracture over 10-year follow-up. Methods Forty-seven patients were randomized and treated either with MFx ...
