Quantitative Evaluation of Repair Tissue Formation at Treated Cartilage Defects, Controls, and Cartilage Thickness at Remote Area Specimens
| Femoral Condyle | Trochlear Groove | |
|---|---|---|
| Remote area specimens | 1,125 ± 290 | 667 ± 160 |
| Control group | 302 ± 205 | 212 ± 121 |
| MACT I/III | 510 ± 161 | 387 ± 178 |
| MACT II | 335 | 304 ± 128 |
| MF | 310 ± 126 | 268 ± 196 |
| AMIC I/III | 645 ± 308 | 408 ± 148 |
| AMIC II | 393 ± 144 | 310 ± 125 |
Note: The mean tissue thickness was calculated from 3 repeated measurements of the distance from tidemark to surface. The values in micrometers are depicted as means and standard deviations. Significant more repair tissue was induced when using a collagen I/III matrix was used compared with controls and MF (P < 0.05).
