Abstract:PurposeIn symptomatic mid‐sized focal chondral defects, autologous matrix‐induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) and minced cartilage implantation (MCI) offer two versatile treatment options. This study aimed to conduct a matched‐patient analysis of patient‐reported outcome measures to compare these two surgical treatment methods for focal chondral defects.MethodsAt the first centre, patients underwent a single‐stage procedure in which autologous cartilage was hand‐minced, implanted into the defect and fixed with fibri… Show more
