Journal ArticleDOI
Autologous chondrocyte implantation compared with microfracture in the knee. A randomized trial.
Gunnar Knutsen,Lars Engebretsen,Tom C. Ludvigsen,Jon Olav Drogset,Torbjørn Grøntvedt,Eirik Solheim,Torbjørn Strand,Sally Roberts,Vidar Isaksen,Oddmund Johansen +9 more
TL;DR: There was no significant difference in macroscopic or histological results between the two treatment groups and no association between the histological findings and the clinical outcome at the two-year time-point.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized trial comparing autologous chondrocyte implantation with microfracture. Findings at five years.
Gunnar Knutsen,Jon Olav Drogset,Lars Engebretsen,Torbjørn Grøntvedt,Vidar Isaksen,Tom C. Ludvigsen,Sally Roberts,Eirik Solheim,Torbjørn Strand,Oddmund Johansen +9 more
TL;DR: There was no significant difference in the clinical and radiographic results between the two treatment groups and no correlation between the histological findings and the clinical outcome, and both methods provided satisfactory results at five years.
Journal ArticleDOI
The subchondral bone in articular cartilage repair: current problems in the surgical management
Andreas H. Gomoll,Henning Madry,Gunnar Knutsen,C. Niek van Dijk,Romain Seil,Mats Brittberg,Elizaveta Kon +6 more
TL;DR: Surgical techniques designed to address issues affecting the entire osteochondral unit, such as subchondral changes after marrow-stimulation techniques and meniscectomy or large osteochondrals defects created by prosthetic resurfacing techniques are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A clinical review of cartilage repair techniques
TL;DR: In a recent study of 993 consecutive arthroscopies scored using the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) knee evaluation form, articular cartilage pathology was found in 66% of patients, while 11% had localised, full-thickness lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Histology Scoring System for the Assessment of the Quality of Human Cartilage Repair: ICRS II
Pierre Mainil-Varlet,Boudewijn Van Damme,Dobrila Nesic,Gunnar Knutsen,Rita A. Kandel,Sally Roberts +5 more
TL;DR: The ICRS II represents an improvement over current histological cartilage repair grading systems in terms of reader reproducibility and the clinical relevance and its ability to predict long-term repair durability will be assessed once long- term clinical data become available.
