The study was performed at The Stone Clinic in San Francisco, and it included 67 athletes who were very active before their respective injuries. Each received a knee cartilage transplant and had their most recent follow-up visit ranging from one to 14 years post-surgery.
According to the study, patients reported reduction in pain and improvements in function. Moreover, some patients claimed a return to full competitive sports.
