CO<sub>2</sub> Insufflation in Cartilage Repair Using Minced Autologous Cartilage, Platelet-rich Plasma, and Autologous Thrombin: Enhancing Techniques for Repairing Knee Articular Cartilage Defects. [PDF]
Abstract Injuries to the articular cartilage are challenging to treat because of its limited intrinsic healing capacity, leading to the exploration of various repair methods. The AutoCart technique combines minced autologous cartilage, platelet‐rich plasma, and autologous thrombin, with promising clinical results. A key advancement is the use of carbon
