Arthroscopic matrix-associated, injectable autologous chondrocyte transplantation of the hip: significant improvement in patient-related outcome and good transplant quality in MRI assessment

How do you treat focal cartilage defects caused by FAI? This study from Bretschneider et al. found good patient reported outcomes as well as MRI findings following minimally invasive injectable matrix – associated chondroyte transplantation. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00167-019-05466-7
