Summary

Study Title: A study to compare two articular cartilage repair techniques in the knee joint: Autologous Collagen Induced Chondrogenesis (ACIC) Vs. Mesenchymal Cell Induced Chondrogenesis (MCIC).

Study hypothesis: We start with the hypothesis that both treatments are equally effective.

Trial Design: This is a prospective study. The participating patients will be divided into two groups, each group receiving either one of the treatment modalities. This study will not be randomised or blinded. Both procedures will be done at the Spire Alexandra Hospital by Professor A. A Shetty, who is one half of the team that devised both techniques.

Trial Participants: All participants will be from patients attending Professor Shetty's clinic at the Spire Alexandra Hospital.

Planned Sample Size: 50 patients in each arm.

Follow-up duration: The participating patients will be followed up at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years following the surgery by visits to the clinic and assessed clinically. The surgical outcomes will be measured by by IKDC, KOOS and Lysholm scores; cartilage growth will be measured by the MOCART score.

Planned Trial Period: Two to three years

Primary Objective: To establish superiority, if any, of either procedure over the other.

Primary Endpoint: At the end of the 2 year follow up for all participating patients.

Conditions

  • Articular Cartilage Defect

Interventions

PROCEDURE

ACIC

Autologous Collagen Induced Chondrogenesis (ACIC): ACIC is a single stage arthroscopic procedure. It is done as a day case procedure. The cartilage defect is debrided and implanted with a collagen + fibrin gel mixture under CO2 insufflation.

PROCEDURE

MCIC

Mesenchymal Cell Induced Chondrogenesis (MCIC): MCIC is a single stage arthroscopic procedure. It is done as a day case procedure. BMAC is harvested intraoperatively and concentrated. It is then mixed with a fibrin gel and implanted under CO2 insufflation.

DEVICE

implant with a collagen + fibrin gel mixture
