Arthroscopic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analyses of repair tissue following implantation of a tissue-engineered construct (TEC) to repair human chondral defects in clinical trial. (a) A ICRS grade III lesion in the medial femoral chondyle after debridement. (b) Adjustment of the size of the TEC to match the lesion size just before implantation. (c) Implanted TEC into the lesion. (d, e) T2 mapping of the lesion at the femoral groove. (d) Before implantation and (e) 6 months after implantation.
