Objective: To compare substantial clinical benefit (SCB) of a hydrogel-based, matrix-associated autologous chondrocyte implantation (M-ACI) method versus microfracture (MFx) in the treatment of knee cartilage defects.
Design: Propensity score matched-pair analysis, using the MFx control group of a phase III study as comparator for M-ACI treatment in a single-arm phase III study, resulting in 144 patients in the matched-pair set.
Results: Groups were comparable regarding baseline Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), sex, age, body mass index, symptom duration, smoking status, and previous knee surgeries.

Background: Few studies exist for large defects comparing matrix-associated autologous chondrocyte implantation (M-ACI) with other cartilage repair methods due to the limited availability of suitable comparator treatments.
Purpose: To compare the clinical efficacy of a novel hydrogel-based M-ACI method (NOVOCART Inject plus) versus microfracture (MFx) in patients with knee cartilage defects.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Purpose: Titanium is commonly used for implants because of its corrosion resistance and osseointegration capability. It is well known that surface topology affects the response of bone tissue towards implants. In vivo studies have shown that in weeks or months, bone tissue bonds more efficiently to titanium implants with rough surfaces compared to smooth surfaces.

Purpose: Spinal interbody fusion cages are designed to provide immediate stabilization for adjoining vertebrae and ideally enable bony ingrowth to achieve successful integration. For such an implant, cells must be able to attach, move, grow, and differentiate on its surface. These cellular interactions are dependent on how the implant surface enables the coating and binding of blood and tissue fluid proteins that support cell adhesion.

Collagen is the main structural protein in vertebrates. It plays an essential role in providing a scaffold for cellular support and thereby affecting cell attachment, migration, proliferation, differentiation, and survival. As such, it also plays an important role in numerous approaches to the engineering of human tissues for medical applications related to tissue, bone, and skin repair and reconstruction.
