Resumo

PURPOSE OF THE STUDYDamage to hyaline cartilage represents a serious problem due to its limited capacity of regeneration.Currently, there are several treatment options available.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the success rate of treatment of chondral and osteochondral defects of the knee joint using the modified AMIC (Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis) technique, combining microfractures of the base and the implantation of the type I collagen-based cell-free implant over a two-year period.
