Arthroscopic Implantation of a Cell-Free Bilayer Scaffold for the Treatment of Knee Chondral Lesions: A 2-Year Prospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The main objective of this study is to assess the safety and clinical efficacy of a cell-free bilayer scaffold (MaioRegen Chondro+ by Fin-Ceramica) in patients affected by chondral knee lesions of different origin and localization.

Design

Thirty-one patients with focal chondral lesions of the knee were arthroscopically treated with MaioRegen Chondro+. All patients were prospectively evaluated for a minimum of 2 years using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Questionnaire and the Tegner Activity Scale. Cartilage repair was assessed based on the Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue (MOCART) 2.0 score at 12 months. Follow-up at 36 months was available for 25 out of 31 patients.

Results

From baseline to 6-, 12-, and 24-mon
