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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 Phase 3 study tests whether a cartilage repair transplant called MACI (a lab-made cartilage-like tissue) can improve symptoms in young people with knee cartilage damage. It compares a surgery approach chosen for each person, aiming to reduce pain and improve knee function.
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 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 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.
