Matrix-Associated Chondrocyte Implantation Is Associated With Fewer Reoperations Than Microfracture: Results of a Population-Representative, Matched-Pair Claims Data Analysis for Cartilage Defects of the Knee

BACKGROUND: Symptomatic cartilage defects of the knee are commonly surgically treated by microfracture (MFX) or matrix-associated chondrocyte implantation (M-ACI).
