Knee cartilage repair versus stem cell therapy
Established cartilage repair using autologous chondrocytes shows 10–17 year durability for focal knee defects; mesenchymal stem cell therapies have not been tested in large-scale trials against them.Established cartilage repair using autologous chondrocytes shows 10–17 year durability for focal knee defects; mesenchymal stem cell therapies have not been tested in large-scale trials against them.

ACI for Ankle Cartilage Defects
Microfracture produces fibrocartilage that deteriorates within two to three years for ankle cartilage lesions over 15 mm in diameter; autologous chondrocyte implantation regenerates more durable, hyaline-like cartilage that more closely resembles native tissue for larger defects.Microfracture produces fibrocartilage that deteriorates within two to three years for ankle cartilage lesions over 15 mm in diameter; autologous chondrocyte implantation regenerates more durable, hyaline-like cartilage that more closely resembles native tissue for larger defects.

How single-stage ACI differs from MACI
MACI repairs cartilage defects over two operations, with weeks between them for external cell expansion; STACi compresses the entire process—harvesting, processing, and implantation—into a single surgical session.MACI repairs cartilage defects over two operations, with weeks between them for external cell expansion; STACi compresses the entire process—harvesting, processing, and implantation—into a single surgical session.

STACi vs MACI for knee cartilage repair
STACi performs knee cartilage repair in one operation by combining bone-marrow stem cells with patient chondrocytes on a three-dimensional scaffold — differing from MACI in cell composition and scaffold structure, though lacking randomised-trial evidence for long-term durability.STACi performs knee cartilage repair in one operation by combining bone-marrow stem cells with patient chondrocytes on a three-dimensional scaffold — differing from MACI in cell composition and scaffold structure, though lacking randomised-trial evidence for long-term durability.
