Non-interventional Study With NOVOCART® Basic in Patients Treated for Cartilage Defects in the Knee With MAC

"NOVOCART® Basic is a biphasic, collagen-based matrix to support the biological reconstruction of localized and full-thickness cartilage damages after treatment with bone marrow stimulation techniques (microfracture). The procedure is called matrix associated chondrogenesis (MAC). It is a single-step procedure.~NOVOCART® Basic is tailored to fit the prepared defect size and is inserted in the defect area after microfracture. The NOVOCART® Basic device component is fully resorbed over a period of a few months as new reparative cartilage tissue is generated and integrated with the surrounding host tissue."
