Autologous chondrocyte implantation is an established option for the treatment of full-thickness cartilage defects of the knee. Open implantation has a high morbidity. On a resorbable polymer fleece, autologous chondrocytes can be implanted arthroscopically. Transosseous anchoring assures high initial stability of the implant. Tibial defects can be addressed. The arthroscopic technique for the implantation of autologous chondrocytes eliminates a substantial amount of the side effects known to occur after open autologous chondrocyte implantation procedures.
