Autologous Chondrocyte

Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) is a process whereby articular cartilage cells, known as chondrocytes, are collected from patients, multiplied in a laboratory to increase cell number, and then re-implanted (after approximately 4 weeks) with a special surgical technique into the damaged area of the knee.
