This two-stage procedure effectively addresses knee cartilage defects caused by injury or degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. Symptoms such as persistent pain, swelling, and reduced mobility often necessitate MRI and arthroscopic evaluations to determine MACI suitability. Despite mild short-term side effects like swelling and pain, the treatment has shown significant promise in restoring knee function. Recovery includes a structured rehabilitation programme, crucial for optimal outcomes. Early intervention and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can prevent further cartilage damage. Proper aftercare minimises risks, ensuring successful recovery and improved quality of life.
