Single Stage Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (STACi) is a one-step surgical cartilage repair procedure.
Technique of STACi
In the STACi procedure, cartilage cells are harvested from the patient, then released from their matrix and mixed with bone marrow cells(MSCs) and laid onto a membrane which is glued to cover the patient's cartilage defect.
