Abstract
This study presents the prospective two-year clinical and MRI outcome of autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) for the treatment of patellofemoral cartilage defects in the knee. Ten patients were clinically prospectively evaluated during 2 years. MRI data were analysed based on the original and modified MOCART (Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue) scoring system. A satisfying clinical improvement became apparent during the 24 months of follow-up. The MOCART scoring system revealed a slight tendency to deterioration on MIRE between one and 2 years of follow-up. However, the difference was not statistical significant. All cases showed subchondral lamina changes. The formation of intralesional osteophytes was observed in 3 of the 10 patients (30%). In conclusion, AMIC is safe and feasible for the treatment of symptomatic patellofemoral cartilage defects and resulted in a clinical improvement. However, the favourable clinical outcome of the AMIC technique was not confirmed by the MIRE findings.
