Autologous chondrocyte implantation is a biomedical treatment that repairs damaged articular cartilage using the patient own cartilage cells. It provides pain relief and can delay or avoid the need for a joint replacement, and over the past two decades it has become one of the most developed articular cartilage repair techniques, though it fails in about fifteen percent of cases.
