Study of knee cartilage repair results
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be over 18 years old
- Have had knee cartilage reconstruction using your own tissue transplant (autologous transplant)
- or have had knee cartilage reconstruction using a collagen-based “knee matrix” product
- The repair must be for cartilage in the knee joint
- The surgery/repair method must be one of the study’s allowed techniques

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new treatment (EB-OC) for repairing damaged cartilage and underlying bone in the knee. If you have one or two painful, full-thickness cartilage defects and meet the health requirements, you may be able to join.
This trial studies how well a fresh cartilage and bone graft works to repair large, full-thickness defects in the knee. It also looks at imaging results (pictures of the knee) to see how the repair is healing over time.
This trial tests a frozen cartilage transplant (called an osteochondral allograft) for people with painful knee cartilage defects. It aims to see if this procedure can help relieve pain and improve knee function.
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.
This Phase 2 study tests CartiLife® to help repair a specific type of damaged knee cartilage. You may be considered if you have a moderate-sized cartilage defect in the knee and enough pain and function limits to need treatment.
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.
