Clinical Trial Summary

The Cartilage Autograft Implantation System (CAIS) is designed as a single surgical treatment of damaged knee cartilage using the subject's own healthy cartilage obtained from a non-weight or low weight-bearing region. CAIS is indicated for the repair of articular cartilage lesions and osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee through cartilage regeneration.

Description:

The Cartilage Autograft Implantation System (CAIS) is a kit of devices that utilizes morselized autologous hyaline cartilage harvested arthroscopically, affixed onto a synthetic, resorbable implant using a fibrin sealant and implanted in a single surgical procedure. The system is designed as a surgical treatment of damaged knee cartilage using the subject's own healthy cartilage obtained from a non-weight or low weight-bearing region.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• A male or female 18 to 55 years of age,

• Has 1 or 2 focal chondral lesions, that require repair, per index knee presenting with moderate to severe knee pain. Each lesion is =6 mm in depth and has an area of =1 cm2 and =10 cm2.

Intervention

Procedure:
• Microfracture
The microfracture procedure is a standard method for treatment of cartilage damage in which the surgeon will clean the site of your cartilage damage and then will make several small holes in your bone to stimulate your bone marrow with the intention to repair the damaged area with new cartilage tissue
