Rehabilitation after autologous chondrocyte implantation for isolated cartilage defects of the knee.

چکیده
Autologous chondrocyte implantation for treatment of isolated cartilage defects of the knee has become well established. Although various publications report technical modifications, clinical results, and cell-related issues, little is known about appropriate and optimal rehabilitation after autologous chondrocyte implantation. This article reviews the literature on rehabilitation after autologous chondrocyte implantation and presents a rehabilitation protocol that has been developed considering the best available evidence and has been successfully used for several years in a large number of patients who underwent autologous chondrocyte implantation for cartilage defects of the knee.

Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) has now been performed for over a decade in the United States. ACI has been demonstrated as a reproducible treatment option for large, full-thickness, symptomatic chondral injuries of the knee. As clinical experience has expanded and indications broadened to more complex cartilage defects, it has become evident that aggressive treatment of coexisting kn...

Autologous chondrocyte implantation is an established option for the treatment of full-thickness cartilage defects of the knee. Open implantation has a high morbidity. On a resorbable polymer fleece, autologous chondrocytes can be implanted arthroscopically. Transosseous anchoring assures high initial stability of the implant. Tibial defects can be addressed. The arthroscopic technique for the ...
