Journal ArticleDOI
Arthroscopic Second-Generation Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation Compared With Microfracture for Chondral Lesions of the Knee Prospective Nonrandomized Study at 5 Years
Elizaveta Kon,Alberto Gobbi,Giuseppe Filardo,Marco Delcogliano,Stefano Zaffagnini,Maurilio Marcacci +5 more
TL;DR: Both methods have shown satisfactory clinical outcome at medium-term follow-up and better clinical results and sport activity resumption were noted in the group treated with second-generation autologous chondrocyte transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arthroscopic Autologous Osteochondral Grafting for Cartilage Defects of the Knee Prospective Study Results at a Minimum 7-Year Follow-up
Maurilio Marcacci,Elizaveta Kon,Marco Delcogliano,Giuseppe Filardo,Maurizio Busacca,Stefano Zaffagnini +5 more
TL;DR: This arthroscopic 1-step surgery appears to be a valid solution for treatment of small, grade III to IV cartilage defects and the results at medium- to long-term follow-up are encouraging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective Long-Term Outcomes of the Medial Collagen Meniscus Implant Versus Partial Medial Meniscectomy: A Minimum 10-year Follow-Up Study
Stefano Zaffagnini,Giulio Maria Marcheggiani Muccioli,Nicola Lopomo,Danilo Bruni,Giovanni Giordano,Giovanni Ravazzolo,Massimo Molinari,Maurilio Marcacci +7 more
TL;DR: Pain, activity level, and radiological outcomes are significantly improved with use of the MCMI at a minimum 10-year follow-up compared with PMM alone, and Randomized controlled trials on a larger population are necessary to confirm MCMI benefits at long term.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Associated With Extra-articular Tenodesis : A Prospective Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation With 10- to 13-Year Follow-up
TL;DR: Knee osteoarthritis after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with extra-articular tenodesis does not appear to be greater than after anterior cruiser ligament reconstructions withoutExtraarticular augmentation as reported in historical controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arthroscopic autologous condrocyte transplantation: technical note
TL;DR: An arthroscopic surgical technique for tissue engineered cartilage grafting that reduces morbidity of classic autologous implant and avoids open surgery and the use of a periosteal flap is described.
