We describe the use of enzymatically isolated human allogeneic chondrocytes embedded in an alginate matrix in combination with a periosteal flap for the treatment of chondral and osteochondral lesions. The short-term clinical results illustrate the feasibility and safety of this procedure. This concept essentially involves a one-step surgical transplantation procedure with a well-characterized cell product in a biodegradable matrix; this is hoped to result in an easier and less time-consuming surgical procedure and in a more reproducible clinical and histological outcome than first- and second-generation autologous chondrocyte transplantation.
