    The surgery was called "controversial" by many sportswriters, due to a lack of studies on the long-term effects and the fact that an unsuccessful surgery could end an athlete's career. [9] Steadman has also adapted the surgery into a treatment to help reattach torn ligaments (a technique he calls the "healing response"). [citation needed]

    [9] [10] The latter has been found especially important for microfracture surgery and therefore for AMIC. [11] The basic procedure of Microfracture surgery was developed by JR Steadman in the late 80’s and early 90’s. It is a well documented cartilage repair technique and first line treatment option for small cartilage lesions.

    The collagen membrane protects and stabilizes the MSCs released through microfracture and enhances their chondrogenic differentiation. The AMIC surgery is a single-step procedure. Once cartilage damage is assessed there are two methods to access the joint to proceed with the AMIC surgery. First is to perform a mini arthrotomy.

    This is not always the case and microfracture surgery is therefore considered to be an intermediate step. [citation needed] An evolvement of the microfracture technique is the implantation of a collagen membrane onto the site of the microfracture to protect and stabilize the blood clot and to enhance the chondrogenic differentiation of the MSCs.

  7. Stem cell transplantation for articular cartilage repair

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_transplantation...

    Marrow-nucleated cells are used every day in regenerative orthopedics. The knee microfracture surgery technique relies on the release of these cells into a cartilage lesion to initiate fibrocartilage repair in osteochondral defects. [13] In addition, this cell population has also been shown to assist in the repair of non-union fractures. [14]
