Publication of the study results

Cartilage cell transplantation

Recently, the results of the study on cartilage cell transplantation (autologous chondrocyte implantation with spheroids, or ACI) were published in the Journal Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy (KSSTA) by Professor Siebold.

The article, with the original title, „Good healing potential of patellar chondral defects after all-arthroscopic autologous chondrocyte implantation with spheroids: a second-look arthroscopic assessment“ is about the arthroscopic evaluation in a follow-up (second-look) of a completely arthroscopic and minimally invasive autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACT) for articular cartilage defects in the knee joint.
