Study of knee cartilage injury diagnosis using imaging
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at people with a specific knee cartilage problem called osteochondritis dissecans (or a focal cartilage defect). It uses X-rays or MRI scans to confirm the diagnosis, which helps researchers understand the condition and how it’s identified.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of osteochondritis dissecans or a focal cartilage defect in the knee
- Your diagnosis must be confirmed by an X-ray or MRI scan
- You should already have the imaging results available to show the diagnosis

This study follows patients who have a loose piece of bone and cartilage in their knee and are having it fixed with special screws that dissolve over time. The goal is to see how well the knee heals and works after surgery.
This study looks at how well certain types of knee cartilage repair work, using clinical check-ins and imaging (scans). You may be able to help researchers understand which method restores knee surface cartilage best.
This observational study follows people with a specific knee cartilage injury from osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) to see how they do after standard care and rehab. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and what changes happen over follow-up.
This trial tests two ways to repair damaged knee cartilage in young people: one uses your own cartilage cells grown in a lab (MACI), and the other is a standard procedure called microfracture. The goal is to see which works better to reduce pain and improve knee function, and to help you get back to normal activities.
This study looks at knee osteoarthritis to find new ways to treat it. If you have knee pain from worn-down cartilage, this research may lead to better therapies.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses your own bone marrow cells to grow a piece of tissue to repair damaged knee cartilage. It's for people with a single, medium-sized cartilage injury on the thigh bone part of the knee joint that hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
