One-stage minced cartilage autograft with platelet-rich plasma improves early clinical outcomes: A multicentric retrospective study.

Purpose: Knee cartilage defects are a therapeutic challenge, often requiring multiple costly procedures with modest improvements. This study evaluates whether a one-stage minced cartilage autograft with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) improves clinical and radiological outcomes after at least 1 year.

Methods: A multicentric, non-randomized, retrospective analysis was conducted using data from two sports medicine centres.
