Video Summary
The speaker advocates autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) as the "holy grail" for treating articular cartilage injuries, highlighting its compatibility, adaptability, dependability, durability, viability, and predictability. ACI involves a two-stage procedure using the patient’s own cartilage cells to repair defects, offering advantages over osteochondral allografts, especially for irregular or challenging lesions. Studies show ACI provides better hyaline cartilage restoration and long-term durability compared to microfracture techniques. Additionally, ACI maintains high cell viability during implantation and allows predictable surgical scheduling. The speaker concludes that ACI represents the optimal current solution for cartilage repair in the U.S.
