What this trial studies

This study assesses the effectiveness and safety of the CartiONE technique, which is used for treating symptomatic focal articular cartilage lesions in the knee. It involves collecting retrospective baseline and follow-up data from patients treated with CartiONE between 2010 and 2023, with a minimum follow-up period of six months. The study will analyze patient records, including medical history and treatment outcomes, to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of the treatment. The primary endpoints focus on safety through adverse events and effectiveness through cartilage defect volume fill.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients who have undergone CartiONE treatment for knee cartilage lesions at least six months prior to the study.

Not a fit: Patients with conditions that make them unsuitable for participation as judged by their treating surgeon will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term effectiveness and safety of CartiONE treatment for knee cartilage lesions.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies using similar cartilage repair techniques have shown promising results, indicating potential for success in this approach.
