  1. *ACI carried out with cells grown in Carticelâ„¢; all others utilised OsCells, so-called because they were prepared in the laboratory in Oswestry. ACI, autologous chondrocyte implantation; M, mosaicplasty; MFC, medial femoral condyle; LFC, lateral femoral condyle; n/a not applicable; N/A not available; H, hyaline-like; F, fibrocartilage-like.
