This message is being posted on behalf of Dr Paresh Jobanputra, Consultant
Rheumatologist, who is undertaking a systematic review of the
effectiveness of chondrocyte transplantation for treating isolated
cartilage defects of the knee.
The publications he has been able to find are:
Peterson L., Acta Orthopaedica Belgica, Vol 62 1996 pp. 196-200
Brittburg M., et al, NEJM Vol 331, 1994 pp 889-895 (and related
correspondence)
Correspondence. J. of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery 1997 vol 13 pp
541-547.
He also has a few reviews detailing the surgical technique.
*Does anyone know of any other published or unpublished information on
this topic? Paresh is particularly seeking unpublished data on outcomes
in patients who have been operated on.*
Paresh has access to the company information on Carcitel who keep a
patient registry on the Internet.
Thank you
