Matrix induced autologous chondrocyte implantation in the knee: Comparison between osteochondritis dissecans and osteonecrosis and effect of chondrocyte thickness on prognosis

Objective: The aim of this study was compare the clinical success of treatments for avascular necrosis and osteochondritis dissecans in cases who underwent matrix autologous chondrocyte implantations, and evaluate cartilage thickness on the clinical outcomes after implantation. Methods: A total of 37 patients (29 men, and 8 women; mean age: 23.8 years (16–38)) were treated prospectively with a two-stage matrix autologous chondrocyte implantation (avascular necrosis, n=21; osteochondritis dissecans, n=18). Clinical improvements and follows-up were assessed based on the patients’ International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) scores with simultaneous cartilage thickness measurement using short-TI inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging. The patients were divided into four subgroups based on their clinical scores, as group D
