What this Trial Is About
This observational study evaluates the effectiveness of cell therapy for treating osteoarthritis. It compares patients who have undergone Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation ACI surgery with those who have not had this surgery to understand if surgical treatment of cartilage defects can prevent osteoarthritis later in life. Participants include a group who had ACI surgery at least 10 months before joining the study and a control group who did not have ACI. There are no drugs or other interventions involved as this is an observational comparison. Participants will complete a Cell Therapy Questionnaire at least fifteen months after their operation to assess outcomes. The study collects information to better understand long-term effects of ACI surgery on osteoarthritis progression. The total participation duration varies, and the research team will monitor responses to evaluate the effectiveness of cell therapy over time.
