Dual-Scaffold Technique: Autologous Minced Cartilage and Bone Marrow Aspirate Scaffold Combined With Synthetic Collagen Membrane for Cartilage Repair.

Treating cartilage injuries has long been a complex challenge; however, recent progress has greatly increased the variety of effective therapeutic approaches. The minced autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis plus procedure for full-thickness knee cartilage lesions uses a collagen matrix combined with shaver-minced cartilage graft and bone marrow aspirate. It merges a source of bone marrow-derived stem cells and a biological autologous cartilage scaffold, leveraging their chondrogenic differentiation capacity and paracrine activity. This technique aims to enhance outcomes and provides an associated single-stage knee cartilage repair option with biological augmentation.
