OsteoChondral Autografting 
Strengths: 
•May be performed arthroscopically 
•Fills defect with native cartilage 
Limitations: 
•Limited to smaller defects 
•Donor site morbidity 
•No lateral integration 
•Congruity of joint difficult to re-produce with multiple plugs

Clinical Outcome of Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation for Failed Microfracture Treatment of Full-Thickness Cartilage Defects of the Knee Joint. American Journal of Sports Medicine, Vol. 40, 2012 Autologous chondrocyte implantation after failed microfracturing appears to be associated with a significantly higher failure rate and inferior clinical outcome when compared with ACI as a first-line treatment 
So What is Left if These Techniques Fail?

Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation 
Strengths: 
•Can produce hyaline- like cartilage in some patients 
•Can fill defects regardless of size with functional repair tissue. 
•Moderate to large defects that have failed previous intervention 
Limitations: 
•More invasive 
•Expense 
•Longer recovery – return to sports

How? SCIENTISTS WIN NOBEL PRIZE FOR STEM CELLS 
Experiments by John B. Gurdon of the United Kingdom and Shinya Yamanaka of Japan showed that mature cells taken from the body could be changed to an embryonic- like state in a laboratory dish, a head-spinning discovery that is the biological equivalent of turning back time

Wall Street Journal, October 08, 2012

Results show that, in this particular group who received ACI, patients experienced a reduction in pain and significant improvement in postoperative function after ACI or MACI. The authors believe that ACI is appropriate in the management of carefully selected adolescents with symptomatic chondral and osteochondral defects.
