The clinical trials are evaluating safety and performance in patients who need surgery for loss of articular cartilage in the knee femoral condyle, according to a news release. Study sites include New York City-based Hospital for Special Surgery and Portland-based Oregon Health & Science University.

Hyalex’s cartilage is designed to replicate the structure and function of hyaline cartilage and replace painful cartilage lesions.
