Background: Rupture of the Achilles tendon often leads to long-term morbidity, particularly calf weakness associated with tendon elongation. Operative repair of Achilles tendon ruptures leads to reduced tendon elongation. Tendon lengthening is a key...

Similar phenotypes of cells in the repair tissues following microfracture or autologous chondrocyte implantation (2017)
Journal Article
Garcia, J., Hulme, C., Roberts, S., Richardson, J., Kuiper, J., & Wright, K. (2017). Similar phenotypes of cells in the repair tissues following microfracture or autologous chondrocyte implantation. International Journal of Experimental Pathology, 98(3), A23

Introduction

Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) and microfracture are both used in the treatment of cartilage injuries. Previous findings suggest that the efficacy of these two therapies is similar in terms of short-term clinical outcome, h...

Efficacy and safety of autologous cell therapies for knee cartilage defects (autologous stem cells, chondrocytes or the two): randomized controlled trial design. Regenerative Medicine, 12(5), 493-501. https://doi.org/10.2217/rme-2017-0032

AIM: The main aim of this trial is to test the safety and efficacy of autologous stromal/stem cells, chondrocytes or the two combined in the treatment of knee cartilage defects. PATIENTS & METHODS: Patients with symptomatic chondral/osteochondral def...

The absence of detectable ADAMTS-4 (aggrecanase-1) activity in synovial fluid is a predictive indicator of autologous chondrocyte implantation success (2017)
Journal Article
Kuiper, J., Roberts, S., & Wright, K. (2017). The absence of detectable ADAMTS-4 (aggrecanase-1) activity in synovial fluid is a predictive indicator of autologous chondrocyte implantation success. American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1806-1814

Background:
Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is used worldwide in the treatment of cartilage defects in the knee. Several demographic and injury-specific risk factors have been identified that can affect the success of ACI treatment. Howeve...
