AMIC cartilage repair for ankle cartilage damage in adults
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies outcomes after a specific ankle cartilage repair surgery called AMIC. It looks at clinical results and imaging (pictures) after surgery to see how well the treatment works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older at the time of surgery
- Your surgery was an ankle arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) to rebuild cartilage in the talus
- The surgeon used the AMIC technique (a specific cartilage repair method)
- You have not had previous surgery on the same ankle

This trial compares two surgical approaches to repair large areas of damaged cartilage and the bone under it in the knee. It’s for people who still have symptoms despite non-surgical treatment, and it may help improve recovery and knee function.
This trial tests a cartilage-repair procedure called ACI for people whose knee cartilage injury has not improved after at least 6 months of prior treatment. If you qualify, it may help your cartilage heal and reduce symptoms.
This study tests whether a scaffold (a support structure) filled with cells from your bone marrow can help heal deep ankle joint damage when combined with a surgical technique called retrograde drilling. The goal is to regenerate damaged bone and cartilage in the ankle.
This trial tests a treatment called MACI for people with damaged cartilage in their ankle. It uses your own cells to grow new cartilage, which may help reduce pain and improve how you can use your ankle.
This trial studies an “autologous” transplant, meaning using your own bone and cartilage, to treat painful cartilage damage in the ankle (on the talus). It may help people whose ankle cartilage injury is deep, has not improved with non-surgical care, and meets specific side and health requirements.
This Phase 1 study tests whether an “AMIC” collagen-based treatment works better or safely than the standard microfracture procedure for a specific kind of hip cartilage injury. If you have ongoing hip pain from a cartilage defect (not arthritis), you may be able to join and receive one of these surgical treatments along with a study rehab plan.
