Outcomes of cartilage cell repair in the knee
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study follows adults who are already scheduled for ACI surgery (a procedure that uses your own cartilage cells to repair knee injuries). It measures how well the knee works after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a cartilage injury in your knee diagnosed by an orthopedic surgeon.
- You are scheduled to have a specific type of cartilage repair surgery called ACI (autologous chondrocyte implantation).
- You are 18 years of age or older.

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 a new implant made from your own cells to repair damaged knee cartilage. It aims to reduce pain and improve knee function by replacing the damaged area with a living implant.
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 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 study compares two surgical techniques to repair large cartilage or bone defects in the knee, which can cause pain and limit movement. If you have a significant knee injury that hasn't improved with other treatments, you may be able to join and help find which method works best.
This study looks at whether fixing knee cartilage damage can prevent arthritis later. It compares different treatments to see if they help avoid long-term joint problems.
