Injectable Scaffold with Microfracture using the Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis (AMIC) Technique: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Introduction: Autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) is a one-step surgical cartilage repair procedure involving the insertion of a scaffold into the chondral defect after microfracture. BST-CarGel [Smith and Nephew, Watford, England] is an injectable chitosan-based scaffold which can more easily fill defects with irregular shapes and be used to treat vertical or roof chondral lesions. The study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of knee cartilage repair with microfracture surgery and BST-CarGel using the AMIC technique for a minimum of two years.

Concurrent medial and lateral bucket handle meniscal tear repair in a chronic anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knee: a case report.

Bucket handle meniscus tears (BHMTs) are seen in the active population, especially young athletes. They often occur with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, causing significant knee symptoms and affecting the patients' quality of life. All-inside meniscus repair can be effective in the treatment for BHMT to improve symptoms and to preserve the native meniscus.
