Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a prospective, longitudinal, multi-center, within patient evaluation of patients with articular cartilage defects of the knee who have had an inadequate response to a prior non-Carticel surgical treatment. Patients who met eligibility criteria were enrolled in the study. Subsequent to implantation with Carticel patients have follow-up every 6-months up to 48-months.
