Figure 6. Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC).

Figure 6

a. In the operating room, the mononuclear layer of the bone marrow (BMAC) is separated (middle zone) and implanted on a combined mixture of platelet gel and collagen powder or hyaluronic acid membrane. b. The cell/scaffold implant is inserted through the arthroscopic portal through a cannula with a sliding positioner or on a guide wire drilled through the centre of the defect. c. The implant is positioned with the help of a probe and adheres due to its PRP content. An additional layer of PRP is then applied to the surface for further fixation.
