Chondral lesions: MACT presents promising outcomes but higher-quality literature is needed .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Matrix assisted autologous chondrocyte transplantation for cartilage treatment: A systematic review
Bone Joint Res. 2013 Feb 1;2(2):18-2551 articles (3 RCTs, 10 comparative studies, 33 case series, and 5 case reports) were analyzed to evaluate the current literature on matrix-assisted autologous chondrocyte (MACT) transplantation for treatment of chondral and osteochondral lesions of the knee, with the aim of providing conclusive evidence on the benefits of MACT. This systematic review examined results from each article involving different procedures of MACT treatment and indicated that the treatments offered positive outcome over time for specific patient categories. However this analysis was based on studies of variable quality and therefore high-level long term studies are required to further validate the recommendation of MACT of chondral and osteochondral lesions of the knee.
